Italian Producer on the Move, Viola Prestieri, sees THE GREAT BEAUTY in Competition at Cannes |
They are the ones who set the ball rolling on projects, forge coalitions and conjure up a film out of an idea. Film producers are increasingly looking past their national borders. In order to facilitate an exchange with similarly ambitious colleagues from other European countries and showcase their range of achievements, European Film Promotion (EFP) offers a platform for networking to carefully selected producers. The programme PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE is now in its 14th year at the film festival in Cannes.
29 producers from 29 different European countries will take part in the event from 18 to 21 May, 2013. The Republic of Kosovo* and Montenegro will both be represented for the first time this year with a producer. Financial support for the project, which sees new trans-national co-productions being developed each year, comes from the MEDIA Programme of the European Union and the participating EFP member organisations.
