Welcome

Producers in Motion 25 outstanding up-and-coming film producers from 25 European countries are taking part in our networking platform PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE at the Cannes International Film Festival this year. This is the largest number of participants since the programme’s launch 12 years ago. For the first time, Albania is represented with a producer.

PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE will take place on the first and busiest weekend of the festival from May 14 – 17. The multifaceted programme of activities is designed to offer these newcomers a platform ensuring maximum exposure and experience and providing that their talent is visible and their potential recognised. The programme will assist them in establishing a network of contacts within the international film industry and in building relationships that are essential to creating co-production opportunities.

Between 2000 and 2010, 218 of Europe’s best and brightest producers have been introduced to the international industry and press through this initiative. Many of them have since returned with interesting films and co-productions, some with a film in one of the prestigious Cannes festival sections.

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 our financial partner Commerzbank as well as Eurimages, The Hollywood Reporter, arvato digital services, and the Medienboard BerlinBrandenburg for their continuing support.

Keep an eye on this talented group of producers. They truly are "in Motion…"

EFP is proud to present a group of talented young producers to the industry at the world’s most important and influential international film festival.

EFP's activities are financially supported by the MEDIA Programme of the EU and the member organisations of EFP. In addition, PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE is supported

Biography Radim Procházka prefers to create films which marketing experts claim will be incomprehensible to the audience.

Although he graduated from FAMU in 2006 as a director of documentary films, he became the producer of Karel Vachek (Záviš, the Prince of Pornofolk, 2006), a classic Czech director with film retrospectives held around the world, and Robert Sedláček, one of the most original contemporary Czech directors. Sedláček was the reason for Czech critics founding their own awards as a reaction to Sedláček being

shut out of the annual Czech Lion awards by the film professionals. Radim’s collaboration with Sedláček last year, The Greatest Czechs, received six nominations for the Film Critics Award and won the Best Actress Award.

His most recent directorial effort has such a long film title that the TV buyers prefer not to even view it, but this film has also been nominated for the Film Critics Award. Radim is currently developing Play Brecht! by Vachek and Sedláček’s historical film FAGUS.
