Book-to-screen

With its book-to-screen activities, Frankfurter Buchmesse connects player from the publishing industry with production companies. At the Book-to-Screen Day on Friday of the fair, we will be offering  a series of events where publishers and agents can meet film producers to discover and discuss the books with the best potential for film, series or screen adaptation.

Frankfurter Buchmesse is involved in the film sector all year round: the ‘Books at Berlinale’ pitch event, which was founded in 2006 by the Frankfurter Buchmesse and the Co-Production Market takes place at the Berlinale. Every year, 10 selected publishers and agencies from all over the world pitch their titles to 200 European film producers at the event. 

As part of the Marché du Film at the Cannes Film Festival, Frankfurter Buchmesse is the official partner of ‘Shoot the Book!’.

This year, Frankfurter Buchmesse showcasts ‘Book-to-Screen’ formats with its partners at the book fairs in Brussels, Thessaloniki and Prague as well as at the film festival in Karlovy Vary.
