The European Independent Film Festival 2006 (or ECU Film Festival) offers independent European filmmakers the opportunity to have their films screened alongside independent films from around the world. Non-European filmmakers are encouraged to submit films and compete against the very best European independent films with four foreign film categories open to filmmakers from the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Sub-Continent. The aim of the event is to level the playing field in the European film festival arena by giving creative and innovative independent filmmakers an opportunity to showcase their talent in front of an international audience.
