Dear masters of independent cinema!

It is with pride and inspiration that we invite you to be part of Great Eiffel - Paris Indie Visions Fest, a festival that brings together independent filmmakers from all over the world to discover new facets of art and share their unique stories.

Paris is a city where the air is saturated with inspiration. It is the place where revolutionary ideas were born and outdated canons were broken. It is where the Lumière brothers first showed their films to the public, where Georges Méliès created magical worlds on the screen, and where the New Wave with its daring approaches changed the film language forever.

But our festival is not just about the past, it's about the future. Great Eiffel - Paris Indie Visions Fest is designed as a space for bold ideas, experimental approaches and new voices. We believe that every film is a small universe, and every filmmaker is a guide who helps the viewer explore it.

We created this festival to give independent filmmakers the opportunity to find their audience, share their vision and hear feedback. Paris is the perfect place for this dialogue. A city that is like a stage set in itself, a city that holds an infinite number of stories, inspires and unites creators from all over the world.

Our Offline Screening will happen at July 24 at Cinevasion theater, showcasing best works of current season.
At our festival, you will be able to present your work in a historic cinema in Paris that has seen more than one era of cinema. Here you can meet colleagues, find new collaborators and immerse yourself in an atmosphere of creativity and support.
If you make films that make you think, open new facets of reality or just give pure emotion - we are waiting for you. Let's work together to promote a new vision, break boundaries and make films that will speak to every viewer with sincerity.
See you in Paris,
Great Eiffel - Paris Indie Visions Fest organisers

    Same as said, no one at the cinema, no projection. Hopefully îm from Paris and i didn’t cost me so much. I had my money back after the « no show »
    Good to jnow that the « cinema » is a kind of 20 seats one…

  • As winner of best actor, I was invited with Bianca Arndt on 3 October!!!
    I stood with my daughter and other invited filmmakers in front of closed doors in Paris. I travelled from Germany. For nothing. Apparently, they got the date wrong. The gala was supposed to take place on 23 October. We were all so disappointed that I asked Film Freeway to stop offering this Great Eiffel festival. It cost me a lot of money. For nothing. We are disappointed.
