Stories That Move Us Forward.

EE Screen Festival brings exceptional screen stories, filmmakers, audiences, jurors and the international industry community together on the Côte d’Azur from 13–16 October 2027.

A new international home for remarkable screen stories.

EE Screen Festival is a four-day celebration of work with artistic voice, commercial potential and cultural impact—bringing filmmakers, audiences, press, jurors and industry professionals into one meaningful festival experience.

The screen is where the experience begins.

The festival creates space for exceptional work to be seen, discussed, celebrated and placed into a wider international conversation.

Screenings

A curated programme of screen stories presented in Côte d’Azur during four days devoted to cinema, series and emerging formats.

Conversations

Filmmaker Q&As, audience discussion and thoughtful conversations around the work and the people who created it.

Recognition

The Aurelia Awards honour exceptional achievement across the official competition programme.

Connection

The festival takes place alongside EE Media Market Week, placing it within a wider international screen-content environment.

The Aurelia Awards.

The Aurelia is the signature award of EE Screen Festival: a platinum figure with open wings, created to represent creative courage, elevation and the moment a story reaches beyond its maker.

It celebrates work that moves people, reflects excellence and deserves to stand visibly in the international screen conversation.

Recognition should open doors.

The Aurelia celebrates the achievement. EE Screen Festival is designed to help create the conversation that follows.

Visibility

EE Magazine editorial, winner profiles and campaign visibility where appropriate.

Audience

Opportunity for further discovery and online visibility where appropriate.

Industry

Considered connection to relevant distributors, platforms, producers and industry contacts where appropriate.

Next Steps

Potential EE Vault showcase or distribution discussion, future EE project consideration and strategic winner pathways, subject to the individual work, rights and eligibility.

Recognition can be a moment. The right next step can carry a story further.

Every form of screen storytelling deserves its own stage.

EE Screen Festival welcomes work across established cinema, new formats, personal stories and films that can create impact beyond the screen.

The ocean is part of our future.

Growth should create opportunity for people—and leave more life in the world than it found.

EE Screen Festival intends to direct 10% of all profits to work that creates measurable benefit beyond the screen industry, with ocean preservation and marine life as the primary emphasis.

The broader intended impact includes protecting damaged ecosystems and endangered species, helping restore endangered populations, and expanding education and opportunity for children in need.

Four days on the Côte d’Azur. One powerful screen moment.

From 13–16 October 2027, EE Screen Festival brings together stories, audiences and the people shaping what screen culture can become next.

Bring your story. Take your place.
