Producers in Motion Fourteen years ago saw European Film Promotion (EFP) bring ambitious up-and-coming producers together for the first time from various European countries for the PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE programme in Cannes. This year, the members of EFP have again made their selection and chosen 29 aspiring and highly promising producers for the initiative during the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival and Market. A record number!

Over the years, EFP has fashioned the event into a unique spotlight, focussing international attention on almost 300 producers from across Europe and helping to support their cross-border cooperation on future projects. The programme will take place on the first and busiest weekend of the festival from May 18 to 21.

EFP will again be creating a highly focused working environment involving project pitching, one-to-one meetings, social events as well as extensive promotion of the producers through profiles in the international trade papers.

We would like to express our warmest thanks to the MEDIA Programme of the European Union for their ongoing financial support of this initiative. We would also like to thank Eurimages and The Hollywood Reporter for their continuing support and as well our newest partner, the MFG Film Funding Baden-Württemberg/Germany.

Keep an eye on this talented group of producers. They truly are ”movers and shakers“.

Christian Juhl LemcheEFP President, May 2013

“To be part of the PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE program was a tremendous and very precious experience. I am still in contact with most of the producers I met there, and with some, I am already working on projects and, with others, we are looking at projects for the future. It was an excellent network and a marvellous platform for producers.”

Nicole Gerhards, NiKo Film, Germany
