Independent film in Paris

Between March 13th and 15th, the cream of the world's independent filmmaking talent will be in Paris to show their latest works at the European Independent Film Festival.

The event provides a platform for up-and-coming directors, actors and other industry figures to make a name for themselves and cement their names in the minds of enthusiasts and fans.

Innovation and independence are prerequisites for those showcasing their work, with the festival serving as a platform for the discovery, promotion and projection of films from stars of the future.

While the name suggest European cinema, there will also be categories for filmmakers from the Americas, Africa and Asia to show their movies and documentaries to audiences.

Films submitted will go into one of 11 categories, including European Dramatic Short, Dramatic Feature and European Documentary Short and will be voted on by judges and those in attendance.

There will also be a series of workshops called The Perfect Pitch which will be conducted by cinema industry professionals, addressing various aspects related to preparing a pitch.

For visitors, there will also be a series of editing seminars, screenwriting labs and discussion panels to add even more variety to the event.

Now in its third year, the European Independent Film Festival has established itself as a platform for independent moviemakers to screen their work to large audiences and provide enthusiasts with an opportunity to see films from stars of the future.

Enjoy independent films on your Paris break.
