Eufcn The European Film Commissions Network

EUFCN is a non-profit association which supports and promotes the European film industry and culture. Its main goals are to create a network of the most active European Film Commissions; to promote the exchange of information between members; to sustain the development of location searches and shooting opportunities; and to carry out professional and educational activities for members. Furthermore, it is also involved in promoting Film Commission activities with Public Institutions, the European Community and the film industry; conducting projects funded by the European Union; supporting the film industry; organizing seminars and conferences; analyzing the needs of producers of films and TV dramas and meeting these needs. A group of film commissioners who wanted to share information and learn from one another's experiences met in Malaga in 2004 to establish the foundations for this organization, that is devoted to the business of facilitating production activity. In Berlin in 2005, they signed the Berlin Declaration for the constitution of the European Film Commissions Network. The association was officially registered in Brussels in March 2007 and the first Board of Directors was elected at the first general assembly in Prague in November 2007.
