X +Y director Morgan Matthews and The Look of Silence doc maker Joshua Oppenheimer among those set to receive support at the festival in South Korea.

European Film Promotion has unveiled the list of titles it will support at this year’s Busan International Film Festival  (Oct 2-11) in South Korea.

EFP’s contribution to this cultural exchange at the festival and the support of business relations at the Asian Film Market is backed by the Media Programme of the European Union and the participating EFP member organisations.

EFP’s European umbrella booth at the Asian Film Market (Oct 5-8) will again be greatly enlarged due to the number of sales companies participating in the stand and the general increase of companies registered for this year’s AFM.

To date, 37 sales companies have confirmed their presence at the booth. All of the European companies may also take advantage of EFP’s Film Sales Support (FSS) for their marketing campaigns in Korea. Those sales companies taking part in the umbrella booth and benefiting from FSS will be announced later in September.
