Terms of Participation
The Berlinale Co-Production Market is meant to be a “natural” meeting place for producers and financiers who are attending the Berlinale and European Film Market anyway. Therefore, the Berlinale Co-Production Market does not pay for travel and hotel costs, and does not provide festival accreditation for participants.
The BCPM reserves the right to admit or deny the access to any person whose conduct is not respectful towards the other participants and/or the team members. The KBB House Rules apply.
Participants are requested to take care of their European Film Market Badge or festival registration first. Only accredited professionals will be able to log in and access the online features that are available to Berlinale Co-Production Market participants. For details on the EFM and festival accreditation, please see Professionals
