EE Screen
Festival

Great films. Global voices.
One market week alive with cinema.

Taking place alongside EE Media Market, the EE Screen Festival brings audiences, filmmakers, industry professionals and international stories together in Côte d’Azur, 13–16 October 2027.

Where Films Meet Their Audience — and Their Next Opportunity.

EE Screen Festival runs simultaneously with EE Media Market. It gives filmmakers a real festival setting for their work while bringing producers, sales agents, buyers, platforms, press, investors and screen-industry professionals into the same week.

A film can be discovered by an audience, discussed with peers, seen by industry professionals and connected to wider market opportunities without separating the festival experience from the commercial world around it.

Festival Screenings

Films presented in a proper public festival setting, with the shared anticipation and response that only a real audience can create.

Industry Access

A shared week with producers, sales agents, buyers, platforms, investors, exhibitors, speakers and international press.

Conversations Around Cinema

Q&As, filmmaker discussions, panels, showcases and selected industry events that give films a wider life beyond the screening.

A Festival for Screen Stories in Every Form.

EE Screen Festival welcomes work made for cinema, television, streaming, mobile audiences and the formats still reshaping how stories travel around the world.

International Narrative Features

Fiction films from established and emerging voices.

Documentary Features

Stories that investigate, reveal, challenge and connect audiences to the real world.

Give Your Film a Moment People Remember.

Cinema Can Make People Care.

EE Screen Festival creates a dedicated space for films that bring the ocean, wildlife, ecosystems and environmental action into public conversation. This category reflects EE’s wider intention to direct 10% of all profits toward work that creates measurable benefit for oceans, forests, endangered species and children in need.

  • Ocean and marine-life documentaries
  • Environmental fiction and climate storytelling
  • Wildlife and conservation films
  • Films focused on ecosystems, restoration and nature
  • Youth, education and impact-led cinema
  • Filmmaker conversations with environmental organisations, scientists and advocates where appropriate

The Films Continue After the Credits.

Selected films can become the starting point for a richer event — a filmmaker Q&A, cast conversation, subject-led discussion, panel, industry screening or community gathering.

Filmmaker Q&As

Give audiences access to the people behind the work.

Cast, Director & Producer Conversations

Create a deeper discussion around process, story, performance and intention.

Issue-Led Panels

Bring relevant experts, advocates or industry voices into the conversation around a film.

Private Industry Screenings

Host a focused event for invited buyers, distributors, investors, partners, press or production contacts.

Cinema, Market Access and Industry Energy in One Place.

EE Screen Festival protects the experience of seeing a film with an audience while placing that experience inside an active international market week.
