The European Film Market (EFM), held annually alongside the Berlinale, is one of the world’s leading film markets, bringing together producers, distributors, sales agents, and industry professionals from across the globe. 

From February 12 to 18, 2026, EFM provided a platform for networking, deal-making, and knowledge exchange within the international film industry.

During the market, “Meet the Festival” one-to-one meetings offered participants the opportunity to schedule direct requests with festival programmers and decision-makers, creating focused interactions tailored to individual projects. In addition, EFM hosted professional events such as Consultation Corners and Consult the Expert, where participants could register or deregister freely, fostering flexible engagement and knowledge-sharing opportunities.
