The EFP (www.efp-online.com) workshop runs 7-10 September 2011 within the framework of the Toronto IFF. The participants are independent producers with potential European-Canadian coproduction projects. Each of the European participants was previously selected for EFP's Producers on the Move, taking place in Cannes.

"For us, Producers Lab Toronto is a perfect follow-up of our programme in Cannes," Renate Rose, EFP managing director, said it a statement. "It gives access to talent and financial sources outside of Europe and facilitates global exchange and international collaboration. The feedback from last year's group underscored the mandate of this networking platform. A first co-production contract was sealed and many very concrete projects are being discussed at this time with contracts about to be signed."

The Central European participants are:Daniel Mitulescu, Strada Film - Romania;Ieva Norviliené, Tremora - Lithuania;Viktória Petrányi, Proton Cinema - Hungary;Riina Sildos, Amrion Production - Estonia; andKarla Stojáková, Axman Production - Czech Republic.
