European Film Promotion has announced the 24 participants selected for its 15th annual European networking platform which will be held 17-19 May 2014 during the Cannes film festival.

The programme has been financially supported by the MEDIA Programme and the participating EFP member organisations who choose their national participants.

The schedule includes working sessions, one-to-one speed-dating meetings and opportunities to exchange knowledge and follow up discussions on future projects. EFP will be teaming up with the European cultural channel ARTE and the pan-European coproduction fund Eurimages.

Producers on the Move results each year in several new trans-national coproductions and gives the producers a higher profile in Cannes.
