The first decade of F&ME’s existence saw it entering into production on circa 50 international co-productions with a total budget of EUR 120 million involving 102 production companies from all over Europe. It now has a catalogue of rights in over 50 features including Academy Award Nominee and Venice Golden Lion winner Before the Rain, box office horror hit Deathwatch; Cannes Directors’ Fortnight opener Princess; Sundance South African hit Son of Man; Jason Biggs starrer GUY X and Dinard winner White Lightnin as well as 2012 Berlinale Audience Award Winner Parada by Srdjan Dragojevic.
