As in previous years, the Commission is actively participating in the European Film Market, running in parallel with the Berlinale. Together, the festival and market are regarded as one of the most significant meeting points for the international film and media industries.
On 15 February, the Commission will host a panel discussion: ‘How the EU Audiovisual industry can compete for the attention of young Europeans’, focusing on the media habits of young consumers in the EU. Additionally, there will be information sessions on opportunities available under the Creative Europe MEDIA programme during the festival.
