European Film Promotion’s major support has come from the EU’s MEDIA Programme, which has been at the forefront of all of EFP initiatives from the very start in 1997. For this on-going support EFP is most grateful.

The Chinese jewellery company is conquering the European film market by giving support to the Berlin International Film Festival in general as well as supporting young faces of European cinema: the SHOOTING STARS. Since 2008, TESIRO, as one of the world's leading diamond traders, has fallen for the project and is one of the main sponsors of the event. They have offered the young actors a unique gift that was specially designed for them.

For 2013, TESIRO will act as the main sponsor of the SHOOTING STARS project for the next editions. In this role, TESIRO will also donate the SHOOTING STARS Awards. As a main sponsor, the awards are designed by the respective company and presented by a famous host (in previous years e.g. Ralph Fiennes, Dame Judy Dench, Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Zhang Ziyi).
