Join us on the Creative Europe MEDIA stand at the European Film Market, which is organised in conjunction with the Berlinale Film Festival. The EFM describes itself as one of the most important film markets worldwide. Three decades after it was set up, it boasts of no longer being just an industry get-together and distribution point, but of having opened up to new market participants, business fields, products and distribution paths.
Participation on our stand aims to give you the possibility for business-to-business exchanges, scalability and to increase your capacity to operate transnationally and internationally. We encourage agile independent European companies of all sizes, especially newcomers, as well as countries with a lower audiovisual capacity to apply.
Services on the Creative Europe MEDIA umbrella stand include:
We look forward to seeing you in Berlin!
Please review the eligibility criteria and make sure you meet them before submitting your application.
During the sign-up process, you are asked to provide information about how you meet the eligibility criteria. Accreditation is open to independent European producers or distributors, i.e. those established in Europe and offering European content (see below for the definition of European content). During the sign-up process you are asked for an affirmation that you meet this and the other criteria. Once you have signed up, we submit your application to Creative Europe MEDIA to check that you meet the criteria, that there is a fair balance between represented countries and that there is still space left.
We particularly welcome applications from low audiovisual capacity countries and those who have received MEDIA support in the recent past.
