About EE
Screen Festival

An international celebration of screen stories with artistic voice, commercial potential and cultural impact, bringing filmmakers, audiences, jurors, industry professionals and press together in Côte d’Azur.

A festival created for stories that matter.

EE Screen Festival celebrates work that moves audiences, reveals new perspectives and remains with people beyond the final frame. It is built for filmmakers working across established and emerging formats, and for people who believe screen stories can entertain, connect cultures and create a lasting emotional or social impression.

From 13–16 October 2027, the festival brings selected work into a four-day Côte d’Azur experience of screenings, conversation and international visibility within a setting designed to feel welcoming, intelligent and genuinely celebratory.

A film deserves more than a time slot.

EE Screen Festival is designed to give selected work more than a screening: an opportunity to meet audiences, become part of filmmaker conversations, receive jury consideration and enter a wider international screen-content environment. Where appropriate, work may also be considered for online visibility, EE Magazine editorial opportunity and possible EE Vault showcase or distribution conversations—always without guarantee.

Four days of stories, audiences and connection.

Screen the Work

Selected films and screen content presented in Côte d’Azur within a festival setting created to honour the work and invite audiences fully into it.

Continue the Conversation

Filmmaker Q&As and relevant conversations create space for audiences and professionals to engage with the people, ideas and creative choices behind the screen.

Enter a Wider Environment

EE Screen Festival takes place simultaneously with EE Media Market Week, placing participating filmmakers within a broader international screen-content environment.

The Aurelia

The Aurelia is the signature recognition of EE Screen Festival: a platinum symbol of artistic achievement, creative courage and the power of stories to rise beyond their moment.

Its name evokes light, distinction and enduring achievement. Created for a festival that celebrates screen work with both ambition and heart, The Aurelia will stand at the centre of EE Screen Festival recognition.

A symbol created to honour the story, the craft and the people who brought it to life.

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

EE Screen Festival is built to celebrate creative achievement and expand opportunity for filmmakers. Commercial success, however, is not the final outcome.

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

As the festival grows, this commitment is intended to support action that protects the natural world, helps restore environments under pressure and expands education and opportunity for children in need.

Where the intended impact can go.

Clean Oceans & Protect Marine Life

Oceans regulate climate, support extraordinary biodiversity and remain central to life on Earth. The festival intends to support work that contributes to cleaner, healthier marine ecosystems and stronger protection for ocean life.

Rebuild Forests & Damaged Ecosystems

Forests and ecosystems protect biodiversity, absorb carbon, preserve water systems and shelter countless species. The intended commitment may support restoration work that helps damaged landscapes recover.

Protect Endangered Species

Wildlife conservation is essential to the health and balance of the natural world. The festival intends to support efforts that protect vulnerable species and the habitats upon which they depend.

Help Restore Endangered Populations

Some species require long-term, focused intervention to recover. Support may contribute to programmes working to restore populations and protect the conditions needed for them to survive.

Expand Education & Opportunity for Children

Education can change the course of a life. The festival intends to support initiatives that give children in need greater access to learning, possibility and a stronger future.

Be part of the story.

Whether you are bringing a film, joining the jury conversation, exploring a partnership or following the festival as press or industry, EE Screen Festival welcomes people who believe exceptional screen work deserves a meaningful place to be seen.
