European Film Promotion expands

The European Film Promotion (EFP) has welcomed Croatia and Serbia as new members. The Croatian Audiovisual Centre and Film Centre Serbia will bring the number of countries involved in the EFP to 30.

“EFP is very pleased to see these two countries coming on board”, said Renate Rose, EFP Managing Director. “The filmmakers from Eastern and Central Europe give a lot of input for the Western countries. This offers new subject-matter, other narrative forms and a different aesthetic. Moreover, it also provides a new market. On the other hand, the new members will benefit a lot from the experience of the established network.”

EFP’s activities are financially supported by its member organisations and the MEDIA Programme of the European Union.
