The European Film Market

12-18 February 2026

Join us on the Creative Europe MEDIA stand at the European Film Market, which is organised in conjunction with the Berlinale Film Festival. The EFM describes itself as one of the most important film markets worldwide. Three decades after it was set up, it boasts of no longer being just an industry get-together and distribution point, but of having opened up to new market participants, business fields, products and distribution paths.

Participation on our stand aims to give you the possibility for business-to-business exchanges, scalability and to increase your capacity to operate transnationally and internationally. We encourage agile independent European companies of all sizes, especially newcomers, as well as countries with a lower audiovisual capacity to apply.

Services on the Creative Europe MEDIA umbrella stand include:

  • an online promotional catalogue
  • dedicated Wi-Fi
  • a welcome desk
  • meeting spaces and storage
  • a free coffee bar

We look forward to seeing you in Berlin!

 

See you next year!
