During the two EWIP days, over 250 top-class colleagues from the European film industry (world sales, distribution, festivals, production, financing and marketing) met to look out for the most promising film projects of the coming months and to exchange ideas.

The independent jury of renowned and highly experienced experts Heino Deckert (Ma.ja.de. Filmproduktions GmbH), Priscila Miranda (film producer / independent film distributor Fenix), Sophie Stejskal (Filmladen Filmverleih), Urte Fink (ZDF/ARTE) and Paul Ridd (Festival Director Edinburgh International Film) decided among the 29 presented international film projects and awarded prizes worth almost a total of 60,000 EUR.
