ECU has been created as a showcase for "the best of independent European film" and all those involved in the creation of Red Mercury are very proud the film was been selected as the Fetsival's grand finale.

Red Mercury's importance comes from being the first major British feature film to tackle the actions and causes of 9/11 and post 9/11 terrorism, one of the most significant issues facing Europe today. Films on a similar theme by Oliver Stone and others are currently in production in the US. Red Mercury is being showcased at ECU as the first major film to explore the issue from a European perspective.
