„New German Films“ is one of the most important services provided by the Export-Union for the rights-holders of German films. The Export-Union hires a cinema screen at the Marché du Film in Cannes and offers screening slots to interested producers and exporters in return for a participation in the costs. It supports the screenings with a series of promotional measures for the complete programme. The Export-Union is not involved in selecting the films presented
