June Newsletter
Hello fans, members, and those addicted to ÉCU! Don’t worry,
the June Newsletter has arrived, so take a seat and enjoy this monthly
update.
As you know, ÉCU organized a special screening at Café Coutume in
Paris and it was successful. ÉCU screened two films that won awards at
the 2011 festival – Paths of Hate and Salam Rugby. Guests really
enjoyed the films and there were some great discussions over drinks
after the screening. Missed the screening? Don’t worry, ÉCU will be
offering an opportunity for you to catch up by attending our next
screening that will take place at the end of June! So stay tuned by
checking out our website!
June was also the beginning of our 2011 “ÉCU on the Road” tour.
Scott Hillier, ÉCU president, attended « The Inspire Film Festival » in
the UK where Stanley Pickle, winner of the ÉCU 2011 student category,
was screened. Scott took the time to speak with the young filmmakers, a
good way for ÉCU to discover new talent! ÉCU will also be visiting
Italy, Portugal, the United States, Russia, Jordan, Romania, and Georgia
this summer.
ÉCU also had a presentation at Sentieri Selvaggi Film School in
Rome, Italy, where Scott talked to students about filmmaking, gave some
useful tips to new and upcoming talent.
