Are you talented enough?
Are you creative enough?
Are you BRAVE enough?

A lot of people talk about making a film. Very few are brave enough to do it. If you’re a storyteller, a visionary, an innovator or a technical genius with the determination to realise your dream, then get out there and make your film. Once it’s done send it to us, and we’ll take it from there. We are continually searching for the world’s best indie films and perhaps you’ve got it.

Since 2006 ÉCU has been Europe’s premier arena for independent filmmakers to screen their films to international audiences, to network with industry professionals and exchange ideas with other indie filmmakers. All taking place in an environment that fosters creativity and immense amounts of fun.

What better city to showcase your talent than Paris, the home of cinema? There’s a reason filmmakers fall in love with this city, inspiration lies around every corner.
