European Film Promotion is working with the Toronto International Film Festival for the 12th year.
The MEDIA-backed Film Sales Support initiative is now in its fourth year supporting European sales agents and producers with films in Toronto's official market.
This year, Toronto's programme includes about 120 European films -- of which 42 are in the Film Sales Support programme.
'Apart from supporting films from the big production countries Germany, France, Italy and the UK, we consistently back quite many films from countries such as Belgium, Iceland, Austria, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Finland which only produce a limited number of films per year and have an even greater demand for promotional support,' said Susanne Davis, FSS project manager. 'The European aspect comes into play when you look at companies like Celluloid Dreams, Beta Cinema, The Works and TrustNordisk who promote films from various countries besides their home country.'
The companies backed in FSS at TIFF 2008 are:
Alexandros Film (Greece) El Greco
Autlook Filmsales (Austria) Blind Loves
