Retrospectives 2027

Boxer, painter and occasional actor, Jerzy Skolimowski is, above all, a filmmaker adored by film lovers. From Polish cinemas to Hollywood studios, from Walkover (1965) to EO (2022) via Moonlighting (1982), his filmmaking has never faltered. He will be attending the Festival for a retrospective: a unique opportunity to discover or rediscover his vast body of work in numerous restored versions.

For the past 40 years, the Fondation Gan pour le Cinéma has supported four feature-length fiction projects a year through its creative support scheme. These are either first or second films. To mark this anniversary, Premiers Plans is providing an opportunity to revisit a series of noteworthy films that have benefited from this support and which have often featured at the festival, with most of the directors in attendance.
