The European Genre Forum (EGF) is a collaboration between the Imagine Film Festival in Amsterdam, the Black Nights Film Festival in Tallinn and Fantastic Zagreb. Established in 2014, the objective of the European Genre Forum is to provide comprehensive cross-sector and film life cycle training for professionals working in European genre and fantastic film – a rapidly growing pan-European industry that is still distinctively different from the general film industry.
Its unique requirements for creative and financial development, production characteristics and distribution and monetizing networks have created a dedicated infrastructure of markets, festivals and training. The EGF has a fruitful collaboration with the BIF Market (part of the Brussels Fantastic Film Festival), and projects from previous editions enjoy successful festival runs both in Europe and the US.
The EGF Call for Submissions takes place every spring. More information can be found on the EGF website: europeangenreforum.com.
