Fiction Toolbox Programme

BY INVITATION ONLY

The EFM Fiction Toolbox programme is part of the European Film Market's Diversity & Inclusion initiatives.

Launched in 2022, the programme aims to endow fiction film creatives from marginalised groups and the Global South, creating pathways into the international film industry by eliminating barriers and providing them with the market intelligence, business tools, and connections needed to navigate the international film market more effectively.
This immersive programme includes guidance and mentorship by expert consultants and coordinators as well as in-depth industry know-how and connections via workshops, matchmaking events, community-building sessions and networking events.
