The market began on February 9 and will continue until February 17.
Despite all efforts to hold this edition of the film market, which is held annually on the sidelines of the Berlinale, in an in-person format, the market is being held virtually for the second consecutive year due to the outbreak of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
The European Film Market is one of the top three meeting places of the international film and media industries. Its close links with the Berlinale as a public film festival, and its position at the heart of Berlin’s vivid creative economy, are defining characteristics of the Berlinale’s film market. Yet the European Film Market is more than just an agile marketplace for trading film and audiovisual content – it has also positioned itself as a platform for innovation and change.
The 72nd Berlinale began on February 10 and will run through February 20.
