EFP (European Film Promotion) is the international network of national film promotion institutes from 37 countries from throughout Europe, each representing their national films and talent abroad. Under the EFP flag, these organisations team up to jointly promote the diversity and spirit of European cinema and talent at key film festivals and markets, in particular outside of Europe.

The Film Sales Support (FSS) scheme addresses European world sales companies and their (digital) marketing and sales campaigns of European films to countries outside of Europe. The sales companies have to be based in the European Union and in countries participating in Creative Europe – MEDIA which are registered with and validated by the Participant Register of the European Commission and by the respective national film promotion institutes.

FSS is also available for the promotion of films from Switzerland thanks to the international measures by the Federal Office of Culture, the Media Desk Suisse and SWISS FILMS.
