MEDIA Mundus Programme of the European Union The MEDIA Mundus programme offers opportunities for global cooperation and is thus bringing more culturally diverse programmes to European and international markets. It also creates new business opportunities for audiovisual professionals from Europe and around the globe. EFP has received support for its events BRIDGES EUROPE – TURKEY in the framework of the Istanbul International Film Festival in 2010 as well as for the PRODUCERS LAB TORONTO in 2010 and 2011.
Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) The Brussels-based agency is responsible for the management of certain parts of the EU’s programmes in the fields of education, culture and audiovisual. The tasks of the agency include the launching of the calls for proposals, the selection of applicants, as well as the contracting and monitoring of projects. The communication between EFP and the agency – in particular with Constantin Daskalakis and Arnaud Pasquali – is excellent. EFP is pleased to receive Framework Partnership Agreements as of 2009, running for three years and including all of EFP’s events and initiatives. BKM, Germany’s Minister of State for Culture and the Media Since 1999, the BKM has been a solid and very supportive partner for the administrative operations of EFP’s Hamburg office. The support enables the continuous and effective organisation of the network. In addition to the on-going support, EFP received budget increases in 2004 for its FILM SALES SUPPORT programme and for the MEDIA Mundus projects since 2010.
