In cooperation with European Film Market.

Pre-registration required. Please be at the Meeting Point (HAU1) at 09:30. The European Film Market (EFM) is a major place of convergence for international film professionals including distributors, buyers, producers, financiers, and sales agents, and is the industry centre of the Berlinale. Set in the historic renaissance-style exhibition hall, Martin Gropius Bau, the EFM is a bustling nine-day trade fair where over 400 exhibitors from 55 countries present over 600 films, and functions as a barometer for the upcoming film year. Sydney Levine, a pioneer acquisitions executive, will conduct the tour of the inner workings of the EFM. Today‘s tour to the EFM, “Meet the Docs,” focuses on the documentary film industry, and is a joint initiative with the European Documentary Network (EDN).
