Please note that the information currently given below refers to the previous EFM in February 2023.
Industry professionals travelling to Berlin can apply for a Market Badge for the EFM 2023.
The EFM Market Badge grants access to all EFM locations , to the EFM Screening Schedule, the Particpants Guide, the Event Schedule, as well as to the EFM Industry Sessions.
The Buyers status: The rights holders of the films have the option to restrict access to online screenings to selected groups – for example buyers – within the cohort of EFM participants. Buyers status cannot be purchased but is allocated to a limited number of people by the EFM. You are considered for a Buyers status if you order a Market Badge and select "Acquisitions (…)" as your "Field of Activity" on the application form.
