Apply now: EFM Market Badge Inclusion Initiative 2026
press release
Dear EAVE Producers,
As part of the European Film Market’s Diversity & Inclusion initiative towards a more inclusive market and film industry, the EFM is granting 300 free EFM Market Badges to organisations, collectives and institutions that champion and represent equity-seeking and Global South film professionals.
EAVE has been selected as one of those organisations again this year, and we are launching a special call for applications for 4 EAVE graduates who identify as marginalised and/or Global South film professionals to receive free EFM physical Market Badges.*
The EFM Market Badge grants access to EFM venues, Industry Sessions and other events in-person in Berlin.
If you wish to apply, please send your CV, company profile and short motivation statement to lilla@eave.org by December 3, 2025.
Further details of the benefits provided by EFM physical Market Badges can be found on EFM’s accreditation page.
The Market Badge is recommended for filmmakers, producers, sales agents, buyers, employees of production and distribution companies, curators or managers at film/cultural institutions, museums, cinemas, or film festivals, commissioning editors, cinema programmers/curators, educators, or researchers focused on film, legal professionals and lawyers working in the film industry.
* NB: Badges are intended for in-person attendance, and they are non-transferable and not convertible! Apply only if you intend to use the badge! Priority will be given to professionals attending the EFM for the first time.
