European Film Market 2018
Trading Hub for the global film industry
Berlin, Germany - Feb 15-23. 2018 - EUMPA
The EFM attracts every year around 9,500 industry professionals from 108 countries, who gather to connect, explore and do business.
This is one of the few events where nearly everyone from the global movie business comes together to network and launch new projects
.This years highest-profile projects headline women rather than men, including Vikander-starrer “The Marsh King’s Daughter,” from STXinternational and producer-financier Black Bear Pictures.
While some companies fear another slow market, others are more optimistic trying to use the market as a pre-sales hub for international projects.
A movie can do great in Germany but won’t work in Italy, so over the years, buyers have become increasingly cautious, and want to see more and more before buying while producers are challenged to ensure that distributors still access fresh films.Everyone just has to temper their budgets to the market
.Overall, EFM remains a very buoyant market for high quality projects at every level and if you want to grow you have to meet and attract the international people.
