The European Film Market’s Matthijs Wouter Knol ended his first edition as director today confident that the new initiatives introduced had been accepted by the industry.
Speaking exclusively to ScreenDaily, Knol explained that the several new initiatives for producers at Efm (Feb 5-13) - such as the Producers Hub, Bridging The Dragon event, and meetings between Berlin-based startups and producers - had shown that the Market is capable of adapting to new areas of business which are interesting for the film industry as well as bringing in new energy and impulses and positioning itself as an international market central in Europe with a strong basis in Berlin.
