All welcome to VI ECG Film Festival
On May 24-28, the 6th ECG Film Festival will be held at Premier Cinemas Romford in the UK. This festival is proudly joining forces with the renowned Romford Film Festival for the 6th consecutive year, promising a diverse and captivating lineup of films.
Founded by the Eurasia Creative Guild. Serving as a cultural bridge between Eurasia and the British audience, this event aims to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of cinematic and artistic expressions from the region.
With approximately 100 submissions from 22 different countries, the festival has curated a selection of compelling movies from Spain, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, UK, Iran, Uzbekistan, Russia, Cyprus, Kyrgyzstan, Jordan, Tajikistan, Armenia and China. It’s a truly international showcase of cinematic talent!
In addition to the competition lineup, there will be a special non-competitive program organised. Some films will be thought-provoking, others will make the whole family smile, and others will be informative and educational.
