Our annual festival showcases films that demonstrate quality, innovation, and creativity in both form and content. These qualities are judged in 15 categories, 7 of which are open to non-European filmmakers (from the Americas, Australia, Africa, and Asia), and compete for 25 awards. Jury members come from around the globe, have a variety of backgrounds, and are all united in their desire to screen films that will truly impress and inspire attendees. ÉCU has expressly established itself and is often referred to as the Sundance of Europe. As such, we are the perfect venue for bold and visionary filmmakers to present their work to the cinema-loving public who are actively seeking alternatives to commercial-hungry major studio projects.

The European Media Art Festival is one of the most important current media art forums world-wide. The festival presents a comprehensive overview spanning the whole range of this young genre of art. It also presents works that question social conventions, take familiar things out of their context and subtly track down the absurdities of individual and social everyday life. The approaches range from popular subjects to provocative statements that go down new paths of artistic debate in film, installation and expanded media, making playful and intelligent use of various media. In the field of cinema, the festival program offers experimental shorts and feature films, music videos, new forms of narration and documentation, retrospectives and special programmes. Other events include film and video installations and live multimedia performances, a congress featuring artists and curators, and an international student forum.

Created in 2004 by Katell Quillévéré and Sébastien Bailly from within the Film Directors Association, the Rencontres du moyen métrage de Brive is supported by important sponsoring partners – the City of Brive-la-Gaillarde, the Department of Corrèze, the Limousin, the Ministry of Culture (DRAC), the CNC – as well as many private-owned companies. The festival is designed to be a meeting ground for the general public and professionals, centered on a format as of yet still poorly distributed: the medium length film. The festival is also a convivial moment which brings together the general public and the professionals: films introduced by their directors, producers, actors or technicians; cocktail discussions between audience members and the film’s crew, lessons in visual arts, debates, rediscoveries of rare works… The festival is still the only one in Europe entirely devoted to this format today. The profession immediately recognized it as an important place for the defense of artistic creation and a unique link to the public. In 2009, more than 100 professionals traveled to Brive for an event now recognized as a festival of primary importance by the National Center for Cinematography (CNC) (classed as 1st Category in 2006). The national and regional press followed the evolutions of the event since the very first edition. Finally, the public has turned the festival into a truly lively zone of exchange with the filmmakers. The attendance rate, which has risen with each year’s edition, reached 6 500 audience members in 2009, for the festival’s sixth edition.
