Babette Dieu runs, together with Themba Bhebhe (EFM Diversity & Inclusion), the EFM Doc Toolbox programme – a programme specifically designed to endow documentary creatives from marginalized and underrepresented groups with market intelligence, business tools and connections.

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 EFM 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.
