Are you going to EFM?

14 November 2017 By Screen Australia

Screen Australia is offering marketing support for producers to attend next year’s European Film Market (EFM).

The EFM runs for nine days as part of the Berlin International Film Festival from 15 – 23 February 2018.

The EFM is the business centre of the festival. Every year, producers, distributors, buyers and sales agents converge at the EFM, which provides a framework for sales and trade for the film industry.

The EFM is open only to producers, distributors, exhibitors, exporters and importers of films, as well as professionals active in the sales and acquisition areas of video and television.

Producers wishing to attend EFM to advance their projects in development can apply to Screen Australia for up to $5,000 towards the cost of attending.

This year Screen Australia is looking in particular for emerging producers who have a track record of recent success with their first projects.

Selection is by a competitive assessment process. Producers must demonstrate the suitability of their slate for this event as well as articulate a specific marketing strategy for the EFM, which will be considered alongside their credits and industry experience.
