Survey on the Distribution of European Films for Children in Europe 2000 – 2004

They Come Around!
It is clear, when looking at the box office figures for films for children (or families) in various countries, that these films are well represented in the top ten of each country. These films, of course, are mainly the big American movies or sometimes a „national” production. Another generality we have often heard for many years now is that children’s films rarely pass the border of their country of origin. Here, we will take a look at the exact situation of these European children’s films and how they pass (or not) the borders.

From November 12th to 14th, 1999, more than 40 children’s films producers, distributors and distribution experts from eleven European countries came together in Konstanz in order to develop new concepts for the improvement of the distribution of European films for children and young people.
The conference had been initiated by the German Children’s Film Club Federation Bundesverband Jugend und Film and the European Children’s Film Association (ECFA). They were co-operating with the Film & Media Association Baden Württemberg (MFG), the Regional Institution for Communication (Landesanstalt für Kommunikation) and the Department for Media Research of the main TV station in the area (Medienforschung des Südwestrundfunks). At this conference, the foundations for a promising initiative were laid.
