It is hot, hot, hot in Paris this month! As Parisians begin to
shuffle their way back from their summer vacations, the empty streets of
Paris are beginning to clutter up once again. With the month of August
swiftly coming to a close, it heralds the bittersweet end of summer and
the start of busy spring days ahead. After a nice relaxing summer it’s
time for the ÉCU team to get back to work! Although the summer has been a
bit more laid back than usual, submissions are still rolling in
everyday from across the globe and our submission judges are thoroughly
enjoying the films that they are seeing!
At the end of September six films from ÉCU 2011 (Stanley Pickle by Victoria Mather, Never Winter by Jeremy Carpenter, Urban Sounds by Erick Love Lundqvist, Point Zero by Andreas Schaap, Protoparticulas by Chema García Ibarra, A Damn Killer by
Markus Pajtler) will be screened at the Open Cinema film festival in
St. Petersburg! We are very proud to see these films find new audiences
in Russia and whole-heartedly congratulate the filmmakers.
Another exciting new festival partnership has been finalized this
month and we now count ourselves proud partners with The Villa de Leyva
International Film Festival in Colombia, taking place 5-11th of
September. The slogan for Villa de Leyva International Film Festival
this year is “Handmade” which reflects their focus on the crafting of
narrative and images rather than the budget – which is what independent
filmmaking is all about. They will be presenting a selection of our
award-winning ÉCU 2011 films and YAY, ÉCU-on –the- Road” goes to
Columbia!
Don’t miss out on more of exciting news by staying tuned on our website and other media channels! Until next time…
