Mission & Goals
The European Audiovisual Production association (CEPI) was founded in 1989, to organise and represent the interests of independent cinema and television producers in Europe. Today the Association has changed name in European Audiovisual Production Association and represents approximately 2600 independent production companies in Europe. All together, our members supply over 16000 hours of new programming each year to broadcasters in Europe, ranging from single documentaries and special event programming, to game shows, light entertainment and high-cost drama serials. As the producers form the basic support of the audiovisual industry, it is necessary to articulate the interests of those producers within a unique European organisation.
