European Bridges to Turkey and Hong Kong

During the 29th Istanbul Film Festival in mid-April, European Film Promotion launches a new program of 10 current European and 12 Turkish productions by up-and-coming directors. In addition to the “aim of raising public awareness for the selected films in this year’s European Capital of Culture,” Hamburg, Germany-based EFP says, “the idea is to facilitate and improve the films’ distribution beyond their borders. Key European distributors will be invited to Istanbul to see the newest in Turkish fare; at the same time, the Turkish industry will have the chance to watch new and exciting European cinema with festival audiences.”

Similarly at FILMART in Hong Kong, and for the second year in a row, FFS extended its Film Sales Support to European sales agents for the marketing of 17 films, including four documentaries and one animated film. “The ongoing demand…for support at markets shows that we made the right decision,” stated FSS project director Susanne Davis. FSS is supported by the MEDIA Programme of the European Union and has been running since 2004.
