European Film promotion has put out the call for the 2024 Producers On The Move programme which consists of a three-day online pre-festival (30 April – 2 May) and on-site networking events during the Cannes Film Festival (18 – 22 May).
The programme is supported by the European Union’s Creative Europe – Media Programme and the participating European national film promotion institutes (EFP’s member organisations), and is open again to 20 producers from 20 different European countries.
The nomination of each national participant is made by the respective national EFP member organisation. The final selection of the 20 participants is based on a points system which takes pertinent criteria into account, such as having experience with at least one international co-production, having had films at major international film festivals, or distribution of films outside the (co)production country(ies).
The producers pass through a rigorous selection process which sees the successful applicants then benefitting from a packed programme of activities. They will take part in project pitching, 1:1 meetings and case studies, social events and an extensive promotion campaign which includes an online presentation and being featured in the international trades.
Over the past 24 years, 501 producers have been selected to participate. “The goal of the initiative is to connect young, enterprising European producers with potential co-production partners, bolster their industry networks and, at the same time, provide a solid and visible platform for this next generation of European filmmakers,” write organisers.
Producers interested in participating in Producers On The Move 2024 should contact their national film promotion institutes (EFP’s members organisations). The final selection process starts right after Berlinale 2024.
