General Assembly in Berlin: ECFA is Growing
ECFA now has 60 members and is still growing. Adam Graham (Great Britain) and Reinhold T. Schöffel (Germany) were elected as new board members.
President Tonje Hardersen and General Secretary Felix Vanginderhuysen together with the other board members of ECFA were proud to announce that ECFA now has 60 members – more than ever before. And the organisation is still growing year by year. In Berlin there were about 30 members present at this year's General Assembly plus more than 20 guests – among them a delegation of CIFEJ with General Secretary Mohsen Chiniforoushan (Iran) and board member Samir Nasr (Canada).
Two positions among the board had become vacant during the last months. Out of the four candidates the General Assembly elected Adam Graham (Great Britain) and Reinhold T. Schöffel (Germany) as new board members. They complete the leading group of ECFA together with Charlotte Giese (Denmark), Tonje Hardersen (Norway, President), Petr Koliha (Czech Republic), Eva Schwarzwald (Italy), Dimitris Spirou (Greece) and Eszter Vuojala (Finland).
The General Assembly decided to open up the organisation for Non-Europeans as associated members as long as they actively share the aim of promoting European Films for children. After the results of the Kids Regio conference in the year 2009 one of ECFA's major projects for the year 2010 is to develop ECFA's website into a communication centre for all children's film professionals with a stronger focus on film production – from script writing to the premiere – but of course with the same strength as before on festivals, world sales and distribution.
