The European Independent Film Festival (ÉCU) continues its commitment of being at the centre of discovery, promotion and projection of the very best independent filmmaking talent from around the world.
ÉCU will showcase films that demonstrate quality, innovation and independence in both form and content. There are fifteen categories of films in this highly esteemed competitive festival ranging including features, shorts, documentaries, animation and student films.
While ÉCU’s goal is to bring worldwide attention to European independent filmmakers, there are also four foreign categories open to independent filmmakers from the Americas, Africa and Asia.
The European Independent Film Festival (ÉCU) has established itself as a fantastic arena for independent filmmakers from around the world to screen their films to large audiences made up of a cinema-loving public who are seeking alternatives to the offerings of major studios, as well as to agents, talent scouts, production company representatives, distributors and established producers looking for new projects and raw talent. Of course several hundred independent filmmakers from around the world will be in Paris to participate in the ÉCU.

Synopsis
Granica, Grenze, Border - dividing line between two religions, two cultures - between majoritarian Serbian respectively Croatian areas.
Twelve years after the end of the conflict about the 'Republic of Serbian Krajina' in the Yugoslavian/Croatian war (1991-1995), the traces of altercation are still present.
Delapidated, destroyed houses - partly sitting right next to minefields, or in the middle of townscapes, waiting for their owners - act as unintentional memorials, warding off oblivion.
The former inhabitants or their descendants/heirs return only slowly to the area rendered improvident by the Yugoslavian war. What persists are half abandoned villages and scarcely inhabited cities in the hinterland, off the beaten track, which still haven't recovered from the times of war.
Filmed in Zitnic, Drnis, Sibenik and Tepljuh (Croatia) in 2008, in locations
around the area of the temporary border of the internationally not recognized
'Republic of Serbian Krajina'. After the 'Log Revolution' in August 1990 this
area became one of the focal points in the Yugoslavian/Croatian
war 1991-1995.

PLASTIC PAPER: WINNIPEG'S FESTIVAL OF ANIMATED, ILLUSTRATED + PUPPET FILM is an international festival that takes place May 4-7, 2011 at the
Park Theatre in Winnipeg, Canada. The festival is one component of the
year-round organizational activities of the Big Smash! Film Collective. PLASTIC
PAPER’s programming is a mix of
premieres, retrospective screenings, short films and features with special
guests, workshops, multi-media presentations, installations and exhibits, artist
talks, and gatherings where the artists and the audience can interact more
informally.
PLASTIC PAPER is currently accepting submissions for short and feature-length animated films made after Jan. 1, 2010. THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE. DEADLINE: Feb 1, 2011. Download the entry form at www.plastic-paper.org
About PLASTIC PAPER:
PLASTIC
PAPER started in 2008 as a mini-program curated by Kier-La Janisse
and Dave Barber, and hosted by the Winnipeg Cinematheque before
branching out
into an independent event. PLASTIC PAPER
2008 featured the Manitoba premieres of Bill Plympton's IDIOTS
AND ANGELS, Nina Paley's
multi-award winning SITA SINGS THE BLUES,
John Bergin's apocalyptic FROM INSIDE
and much more. Special guests have included BILL PLYMPTON, HEATHER HENSON and curator NAOMI HOCURA.
PLASTIC
PAPER is unique in Winnipeg as an event
that serves to explore the animated output of different regions and
cultural
communities around the world. With an emphasis on self-made work and a
careful
balance of accessible and experimental animation styles, PLASTIC
PAPER’s presentation and outreach offerings serve to educate,
enlighten and
inspire Winnipeg’s burgeoning roster of independent animators, who will
benefit
greatly from the international programming as well as personal
interaction with
visiting international filmmakers.
Many of
the featured
works come in a variety of animation styles with sometimes challenging
subject
matter; although some films are kid-friendly, PLASTIC PAPER is
mainly geared towards adult animation fans as well
as animators themselves. The programming is widely eclectic, but shows a
preference for independently-financed films, films with an adult
sensibility,
and films using traditional methods of animation, such as 2-D
illustration,
cut-outs and stop-motion. The festival also showcases films about animators
or illustrators, as well as puppetry films.
The
connecting thread in the programming is that all selections celebrate
the
labour-intensity, the obsessiveness, and the unique personalities of
these very
hands-on crafts.
- Supported by the the City of Paris and chaired by actress Charlotte Rampling, the festival takes place each year throughout the capital early summer in over 15 different theatres in Paris and grows every year with record attendance.

YoungCuts Film Festival is the Premiere Showcase of Great Short Films by the World's Best Young Filmmakers.
The Festival features short films under 30 minutes long produced by emerging filmmakers under 30 years old and serves as a launch pad for filmmaker careers, providing exposure and recognition for some of the most exciting new talent from around the globe - student film makers and non- student film makers alike.
Established in 2001, every year, the festival selects its Top 100 International Short Films from more than a thousand films from over 30 countries.
Unlike many film festivals, YoungCuts is not a black box. For filmmakers making paid submissions, we offer feedback when and where appropriate; we present their short films to our film industry partners including producers, distributors and programmers - this has led to short films being presented on TV, licensed for outdoor festivals and programmed by other film festivals who view us an expert on short films by young filmmakers. With your paid submission, you also gain privileged access to watch, vote and be inspired by great short films from young filmmakers around the world.
Magma has always focused
exclusively on the short film, considering it as a separate art form,
as a format allowing the experimentation of new styles and the creation
of new trends. The festival offers a chance of visibility for high-value works that
are often precluded from the main distribution channels. Its aim is to
build a bridge between the audience and the endless forms of expression
of the short format.
NociCortinfestival will take place in August in a lovely small town in the south of Italy. This is the eighth edition and we confirm our commitment to promote short films in Italy.
Main purpose is to attract people's attention to justice in the modern world. The festival accepts films dedicated to human rights, animal and environmental protection, social, philosophical films, films on moral aspects.
