The Fiction Toolbox Programme is an initiative from the EFM's Diversity & Inclusion initiative.
Aimed at entry-to-mid level feature-length fiction film producers or producing filmmakers, the Fiction Toolbox Programme is designed specifically to endow fiction creatives from marginalized and underrepresented groups with business tools and connections. Comprising access to networking and matchmaking events and additional business modules (tailor-made workshops as well as one-on-one meetings and consultations), the programme provides a kit of transferable business know-how and connections under the guidance of a consultant and coordinators.
In the preparatory phase, from December 2022: online meeting between consultants and participants with feedback on projects and strategic planning for networking at the EFM, as well as organizational and logistical advice on the EFM from the coordinators.

During the EFM (16-22.02.2023): participation in matchmaking, networking and community building events onsite in Berlin.
Entry to mid-level regional producers from marginalized groups who have a feature film project in development and who are free to participate in online workshops between 25 January and 7 February, and travel to Berlin from 16 to 22 February 2023.
