Le cinéma est une forme artistique qui a besoin d’être nourrie et défiée en même temps et ÉCU - le Festival Européen de Film Indépendant – fournit l’arène parfaite pour les réalisateurs indé d’exprimer la narration cinématographique authentique dans les moyens les plus captivants.
Comme un des festivals de film indépendant vraiment remarquable du monde, ÉCU encourage l’innovation et la créativité et permit les réalisateurs en compétition de présenter leurs films aux spectateurs qui apprécient et adorent le cinéma indépendant. Les réalisateurs qui sont choisis pour la Sélection Officielle d’ÉCU joignent une communauté des créatifs qui repoussent les frontières de cinéma indé.
"C'est toujours une joie absolue de présenter son travail à l'ECU. L'équipe est fantastiquement serviable, le jury extrêmement compétent, et la sélection de la plus haute qualité. Je recommande la participation à tous ceux qui aiment le cinéma indépendant !" - Celina Liesegang, productrice de Viscera : Autopsy of a (non)human body, sélection officielle ÉCU 2022
"C'est toujours un plaisir de présenter nos films à ÉCU, notamment cette année avec notre court-métrage primé "Useless" ! La communication a été excellente tout au long du processus et nos cinéastes sont très heureux de faire partie de cette compétition. On se revoit l'année prochaine avec de nouveaux projets !" - Marta Salvador Tato, distributrice de USELESS, le lauréat du prix du meilleur court métrage dramatique indépendant européen 2022.
ÉCU ouvrait la voie au film indépendant depuis 2006 et l’étendue de sa présence a grandi à une échelle globale, et le festival est souvent considéré comme l’équivalent de Sundance, un honneur qu’on ne prend pas à la légère.
Le Printemps n’est qu’une période fabuleux pour Paris, mais une période formidable parce que c’est le moment où on présente environ un cent des meilleurs films indépendants du monde. Bien qu’ÉCU mette l’accent sur le talent européen, il reconnaît aussi le génie de réalisateurs internationaux au moyen de plusieurs catégories alloués aux films non européens.
Le festival prochain d’ÉCU, la 18eme édition, aura lieu le 19-21 Avril 2024, à Paris, en France.
ÉCU n’est que la projection d’une liste fantastique de films durant son événement de trois journées à Paris en Avril. Il y a aussi des ateliers professionnels menés par des spécialistes de l’industrie, des séances de questions-réponses avec les réalisateurs présents après chaque session de projection et de l’opportunité de se faire les relations avec des réalisateurs ensemble, des producteurs, des agents, de représentants de l’industrie, des acheteurs potentiels et bien sûr, les cinéphiles. À ÉCU, il y a une discussion continue de célébrer et critiquer le meilleur de cinéma indé d’aujourd’hui.
Quoi que l’évènement principal d’ÉCU soit le festival de trois journées chaque printemps à Paris, il y a plus ! Grace à plus de 50 nos organisations partenaires, nos centres de film, nos commissions filmiques, chaque année ÉCU va une tournée mondial qui s’appelle ÉCU-On-the-Road, qui donnent l’occasion des films primés (et beaucoup des films de la Sélection Officielle) d’être projeté à un public globale plus variés. En 2016 – 2023, ÉCU-On-the-Road a présenté les films dans plus de 80 pays autour du monde durant les petits festivals spéciaux d’ÉCU, des festivals partenaires, des instituts culturels et des écoles de film, incluant un festival spécial incroyable de sept journées à Sao Paulo, Brasil. L’événement était possible grâce au soutien de Caixa Cultural, São Paulo et était une réussite énorme. ÉCU a organisé des événements spéciaux à Berlin (Allemagne), Cannes (France) et a fait partie de festivals en Liban, Italie, Russie, États-Unis, Romanie, Autriche, Danemark et d’autres pays. Cela promeut les réalisateurs d’ÉCU aux audiences qu’ils n’aient jamais contactés.
Depuis son lancement en 2006, ÉCU a aidé littéralement les carrières des centaines de réalisateurs indépendants, acteurs, DPs, monteurs, scénaristes et il est honoré d’être fermement établi comme un des festivals éminents de films indé.
Surtout, on est fier d’être un festival de réalisateurs !
Les films retenus seront des courts, moyens et longs métrages produits en vidéo numérique ; des catégories documentaires, fictionnelles, expérimentales ou d'animation ; des films sur les sports de montagne, des aventures ou des expéditions ; des films qui contribuent à la connaissance et à la protection de l'environnement ; des films sur la culture de la montagne ou le mode de vie en plein air.

This project involves bringing students and teachers from different countries to participate with their films . Part of the program are even lectures and workshops of the movie professionals from different countries about film issues. We think that is very important for a student to confront with other students from around the world, so to know different cultures, different thoughts and to analyse the way their colleges work. We hope that First Step Fest will be a good chance young filmmakers in Albania to get inspiration and continue their dream.
