Cinema is an art form that needs to be simultaneously nourished and challenged and ÉCU - The European Independent Film Festival provides the perfect arena for indie filmmakers to express authentic cinematic storytelling in the most compelling ways possible.
As one the World’s truly stand out independent film festivals, ÉCU embraces innovation and creativity and allows directors in competition to showcase their films to audiences who appreciate and love independent cinema. Filmmakers who are selected into ÉCU’s Official Selection join an active community of creatives who continually push the boundaries of indie cinema.
"It is always an absolute joy to present one's work at ECU. The team are fantastically helpful, the jury extremely competent, and the selection of the highest quality. I would recommend participating to anyone who's in love with indie filmmaking!" - Celina Liesegang, producer of Viscera: Autopsy of a (non)human body, ÉCU 2022 Official Selection
"It's always a pleasure having our films at ÉCU, especially this year with our awarded short film "Useless"! The communication has been great during the whole process and our filmmakers are so excited to be part of this competition. See you again next year with new projects!" - Marta Salvador Tato, distributor of USELESS, the winner of the Best European Independent Dramatic Short award 2022
Since its inception in 2006 ÉCU has forged a path for independent film and the scope of its presence has grown to a global scale with the festival often being referenced as the European equivalent of Sundance, an honour that we don’t take lightly.
Spring is not only a fabulous time for Paris but an exciting time for ÉCU because that is when we showcase roughly around 100 of the World’s very best independent films. Although ÉCU emphasises European talent, it also recognises the genius of international filmmakers with several categories allocated to non-European films.
The next ÉCU, the 19th edition, will take place on the 19th, 20th and 21st of April, 2024 in Paris, France.
ÉCU isn’t just all about screening an amazing slate of films over its three-day event in Paris in April. There are also professional workshops led by experts in the industry, Q&A’s held with the attending filmmakers after every screening session and a chance to network with fellow filmmakers, producers, agents, industry representatives, prospective film buyers and, of course, the cinema-loving public. At ÉCU, there is a continual dialogue celebrating and critiquing the world’s best indie cinema of today.
Though ÉCU’s main event IS the three-day festival in Paris each spring, there is even more! Thanks to our over 50 partner festivals, partner organizations, film centres and film commissions, ÉCU’s goes on an annual world tour called ÉCU-On-The-Road, which gives award-winning films (as well as many of the Official Selection films) the opportunity to have their films screened to a broader, global audience. ÉCU-On-The-Road showcased films in over 80 countries around the globe in 2016 - 2023 at special ÉCU mini-festivals, partner festivals, cultural institutions and film schools, including an amazing seven day special festival in São Paulo, Brazil. The event was made possible through the support of Caixa Cultural, São Paulo and was a huge success. ÉCU also held special events in Berlin (Germany), Cannes (France) and was part of festivals in Lebanon, Italy, Russia, USA, Romania, Austria, Denmark and other countries. This gives ÉCU filmmakers great exposure to audiences that they may never have reached.
Since 2006, ÉCU has helped the careers of literally hundreds of independent filmmakers, actors, DPs, editors, screenwriters and is honoured to be firmly established as one of the World’s eminent indie film festivals.
Above all, we are proud to be a filmmakers’ festival!
Asian Film Centre Global Fest is an annual event designing to spot filmmaking talent and matching them with international sales agents. AFC Global Fest is all about true indie spirit. It is designed to be the bridge between independent filmmakers and international sales agents. Winning films will get a chance to be represented at global film markets.
With substantial revenue (sometimes well above 50 percent) coming from exploitation outside of a film’s home country, it is vital that producers should target and then structure deals with foreign sales agents.
What is an international sales agent?
An international sales agent is the conduit to your film’s distribution outside of its country of origin. The sales agent will acquire a set of rights from you, pitch and sell these distribution rights to potential distributors around the world, draft distribution agreements, deliver the physical and electronic materials of your film to these distributors and, finally, collect and pay the revenue due to you. An international agent will be your partner for years, helping craft the commercial life of your film on the world stage.
What is an independent cinema?
“independent cinema” as film outside the established system of filmmaking. Probably even more widely, beyond the established system of values: the experimental, low-budget, underground, various new wave, and so on.
Why should you submit to AFC Global Fest?
Because it is path-breaking, one of its kind event. Asia is the biggest film market of the world, e.g. Chinese film market and the Indian Film market. This is your chance to show your presence in Asia. As the submission is free you can always take a chance.

Il Santiago International Documentary Film Festival (FIDOCS) è il principale evento di trasmissione, diffusione e competizione per il cinema documentario in Cile e America Latina.
Incentrato sulla promozione del dialogo e della riflessione, nonché sulla formazione del pubblico all'apprezzamento del film documentario in un contesto di trasformazione permanente, FIDOCS cerca di esplorare i molteplici percorsi disponibili nella realizzazione di documentari e nelle derive proprie delle opere di saggistica. Nel suo programma, FIDOCS incorpora le opere di registi esperti ed emergenti per affrontare la questione del «REALE» e, così facendo, considera le varie dimensioni, le frontiere disciplinari e le tensioni legate alla domanda «cosa è reale?» , oltre al genere documentario stesso, ha da offrirci.
Nel corso della sua storia, FIDOCS si è posizionato come uno dei festival di documentari più importanti dell'America Latina, rappresentando una piattaforma privilegiata per proiettare il cinema contemporaneo e promuovere il pensiero critico. Anno dopo anno, con il suo approccio curatoriale selettivo, FIDOCS non solo invita importanti esponenti del settore audiovisivo nazionale e internazionale a esporre le loro opere a Santiago, ma anche, utilizzando questa città come centro cinematografico, invita tali esponenti a mettere in discussione, interpretare e riscrivere lo status della pratica cinematografica documentaria contemporanea oggi.
Per la promozione, il posizionamento e la proiezione di film cileni e internazionali, FIDOCS presenta tre competizioni principali. Queste sezioni includono: CONCORSO INTERNAZIONALE; CONCORSO CILENO e CONCORSO CORTOMETRAGGI EMERGENTI PER FILM NAZIONALI.
Inoltre, FIDOCS ha la principale attività del settore, DOCS IN PROGRESS, per i lavori in corso latinoamericani in corso in cui la giuria (montatori, registi, sound designer, produttori, programmatori), oltre a scegliere un vincitore, aiuta i registi a realizzare la post-produzione dei loro film e ne incoraggia la diffusione e la trasmissione. Questa sezione è gestita congiuntamente alla sezione WIP di CHILEDOC CONECTA.
Il festival svolge anche importanti attività di formazione e divulgazione nella sua FIDOCS SCHOOL, dove studenti di scuole di cinema e comunicazione provenienti da tutto il Cile, in modo che i suoi studenti più eccezionali si trovino in uno spazio intergenerazionale e interdisciplinare con ospiti di festival internazionali e nazionali, frequentando master class, workshop, dialoghi, tra gli altri.
Inoltre, in linea con la sua vocazione interdisciplinare, FIDOCS intende accompagnare le sue proiezioni di altri interventi artistici come installazioni, mostre, performance, che dai propri mezzi espressivi dialogano con il concetto di documentario. Nasce così la sezione FIDOCS EXPANDED, dove vari artisti, videoartisti e registi, tutti legati al campo del suono o delle immagini, espongono le loro opere.
Infine, i film scelti saranno proiettati dopo il completamento del festival, in diverse regioni del Cile e all'estero, nella sezione BEST OF FIDOCS. Lo scopo è l'estensione culturale del festival a livello territoriale, ponendo l'accento sulla circolazione dei film a livello regionale, potendo programmare repliche nel territorio nazionale e all'estero.
*FIDOCS si terrà con proiezioni teatrali.
