European Film Promotion (EFP), the Hamburg-based promotional organisation, has selected 23aspiring European producers for the 10th edition of its Producers On The Move networking initiative,which will be held during the Cannes Film Festival next month.

This year’s line up, which has been selected by the EFP member organisations, includes Croatia’s first representative, Ankica Jurić Tilić from Kinorama.

This year’s crop also includes the UK’s Adrian Sturges of Picture Farm, who produced Rupert Wyatt’s feature debut The Escapist and is currently in post-production on J Blakeson’s The Disappearance Of Alice Creed, and Germany’s Janine Jackowski of Munich-based Komplizen Film, who produced Maren Ade’s Berlinale 2009 competition film Everyone Else.
