The European Children’s Film Association
The aim of the European Children’s Film Association is to support cinema for children and youth in all its aspects: cultural, economical, aesthetic, social, political and educational.
Since its founding in 1988, ECFA has brought together a wide range of European film professionals and associations, producers, directors, distributors. ECFA aims to set up a working structure in every European country for films for children and young people, a structure adapted to Europe’s multicultural interests.
ECFA has a fully comprehensive website including databases on children’s film festivals, sales agents, distributors and TV-programmers interested in European films for children.
ECFA is funded by Creative Europe to organise the Children’s Film First Project of which the CFF Conference is a part.
