EFP annuncia la lista dei Producers on the Move 2025

Questo articolo è disponibile in inglese.

In collaboration with its member organisations, European Film Promotion (EFP) has once more selected 20 promising European producers for its 26th edition of Producers on the Move during the Cannes Film Festival (13-24 May).

The producers will participate in tailor-made sessions to foster international co-productions, intensify the exchange of experiences and help create new professional networks. Pre-festival kick-off online gatherings, which already started yesterday and are going to run until the 30th, offer one-to-one speed meetings, round-tables and pitching sessions. All participants will then meet in person during the festival in Cannes from 16-20 May and take part in a five-day, on-site programme, incorporating case studies, social events and an extensive promotional campaign. With their respective companies, the 20 producers are putting forward a wide range of narrative forms and genres, from drama and comedy to documentaries, series and animated films, from horror, fantasy and action to science fiction, coming-of-age and thrillers.
