European Film Promotion (EFP) is backing 36 films at this year’s Asian Film Market (Oct 14-17), which is held during the Busan Film Festival in South Korea.
Among the film’s receiving sales and marketing support are two titles submitted for this year’s foreign language film Oscar race – Picture Tree International’s Men Don’t Cry from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Playtime’s BPM (Beats Per Minute) from France.
The company also organises the Europe! Umbrella event held during Busan, which acts as an important meeting point for European professionals during the Asian Film Market.
Seven companies and films are receiving sales support slate funding, which was previously announced before Toronto and saw them also attend that festival with EFP backing. They include Euthanizer, sold by Wide, and Winter Brothers, sold by New Europe Film Sales.
The initiatives have received backing from Creative Europe’s MEDIA programme.
