The European Children’s Film Network is a database service offered by ECFA (European Children’s Film Association). The databases are intended as sources of information on European high-quality films for children and young people in order to help to improve their distribution and the marketing. The website was started in 1999, covering most films for children that were produced in European countries since that year, including some films that were produced a few years earlier, but appeared at festivals or in distributions in 1999 or later. The database gives title (and titles in other languages), production country, running time, director, synopsis and festivals where it has been screened.
