• A short three line synopsis in English and preferably in French
• A screenshot or publicity shot of your film
• The audiences and judges for your films will be very international and to enhance their viewing / judging experiences ALL films that are nominated as part of The Official Selection need to be subtitled.
  • If your film is in English, it will need French subtitles.
  • If your film is in French, it will need English subtitles.
  • If your film is in a language other than English or French, it will need English subtitles.

The 2011 Program Schedule will be posted in February 2011 and will offer ÉCU festival attendees of all ages and tastes a chance to experience the unique offerings that can only be found at an indie film fest.
