The marketing of 14 European films from eight different countries is supported via European Film Promotion’s Film Sales Support (FSS) at the 13th Guadalajara Film Market (6-14 March) in Mexico.

FSS is backed by the Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union and facilitates sales of European films to Mexico and other countries in South America.

To optimise the sales companies’ attendance, FSS supports additional meetings with buyers in their offices in Mexico City after the market.
