The Euro Film Festival Geneva will celebrate the best that cinema has to offer, showcasing films from established independent filmmakers as well as emerging storytellers.

Organised in Geneva - in the heart of Western Europe - this third edition provides a platform for the most promising filmmakers around Europe. It aims to promote the projects of independent filmmakers to the broader public, as well as potential sponsors searching for the possibility to invest in different international projects like screenplays, feature- and short films.

    Great experience. Very excited and honored for the recognition of my work. An excellent international screenplay competition worth competing in. The festival makes my short list for my projects in the near future. Will compete again soon!
