* ÉCU is eager to showcase the winning independent films from 2011 including best European Dramatic Short awarded to Georgian filmmaker Tornike Bziava for his film April Chill

In showcasing its best films, ÉCU will be able to introduce to Georgia the independent spirit of filmmaking that has kept filmmakers and fans returning to the European Independent Film Festival year after year.
