CATEGORY RULES
Films should be independent in spirit and original in perspective. Open to all European short films made with less than 50% participation by a major studio or television broadcaster. Films may be submitted in any language, however must have subtitles in English except if the film is in English it must have French subtitles. Appropriate subtitles are required to ensure accurate judging abilities. A synopsis of no more than 180 characters, in English and French, a screenshot from the film and a short director's biography also in English and French are required upon submission.
Previous winners in this category include ‘Blind Squad’ (Romania) ‘82’ (UK), ‘Das Paket’ (Germany), ‘April Chill’ (Georgia); many category entrants have gone on to secure distribution deals.
Running time cannot exceed 30 minutes.
Being able to use parts of the film or having a trailer/preview of the film would be helpful for promotional purposes within the festival and our events leading up to it.
“Such a dedicated team of lovely, kind and patient people -- all coming together for a good common. Ultimately, it was an honour just to be screened alongside such fabulous, thought-provoking and thoughtfully chosen exciting films.”
- George Hamilton, Director of ‘Corner Shop’, winner of ÉCU 2012
