PRESENTATION

Residents and instructors of the 2020 Workshops
 

Since 2022, the Angers Workshops have been held during the Premiers Plans Festival.

Founded by Jeanne Moreau and the Premiers Plans Festival in July 2005, the Angers Workshops are intended for young French-speaking filmmakers who have made one or more short films and are preparing to make their first feature film.

With the help of experienced professionals, the filmmakers have 7 days to perfect their artistic project through practical lessons related to the financial and technical conditions of first films. The focus is on scriptwriting, directing, editing, directing actors, production or music, depending on the profile of the participants.


 

Eligibility requirements

 

The Angers Workshops are held entirely in French. The following may apply for the Workshops

• French-speaking filmmakers who have already made one or more short films and have a project for a first feature film (complete script),

and

• filmmakers whose projects are produced or co-produced with France, Belgium, Switzerland or Quebec, regardless of their nationality.
