about us | europeanproducerclub

Europe's most influential association of producers

Gathering since 1993 influential independent film and TV drama producers from all over Europe, we act as a network, a think tank and a lobby.

Who we are

To this end, we have become experts in the organization of events that bring together film professionals from around the world, whether for conferences, networking events within or outside Europe, or workshops.

In addition to the individual companies that are members of the EPC, the EPC coordinates an alliance of national Producer Associations across Europe through the EPAA (European Producer Associations Alliance) and thus boasts a network of over 3000 industry professionals. The EPC opened a representation office in China in 2013.

The association is now headed by Dariusz Jablonski, assisted in the role of Vice Presidents by Mariela Besuievsky, Carlotta Calori, and Pandora da Cunha Telles.

The European Producers Club (EPC) is an association of 190 influential independent film and TV drama producers from all over Europe.

Founded in 1993 within the framework of the GATS negotiations, we act as a network, a think tank and as a lobby. Our mission is to keep our members up to date with the latest developments in the film industry in Europe and across the world; we encourage collaboration, joint financing and coproduction across countries; we also lobby on a political level to protect and further the interests of the European industry and European producers.
