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.
