PRIZE LIST

Discovering the history and heritage of cinema through retrospectives on national cinematographies, tributes to major or little-known authors of cinema and thematic programming is one of the Festival's objectives.

One retrospective has already been announced. The others will be announced in October.

Double Take

For its next edition, the Festival will highlight the links that unite sport and cinema: history (the first Olympic Games of the modern era took place in 1896, just a few months after the invention of cinema), movement, heroes, suspense...

INFOS

The 19th edition of the Ateliers d'Angers will take place from Monday 22 to Sunday 28 January 2024.

Founded by Jeanne Moreau and the Festival in 2005, the Ateliers d'Angers aim to support the development of first feature films. Since 2022, the Workshops have been held during the Festival. Directors, producers and renowned speakers come together for a rich exchange of ideas and numerous meetings.

With the help of experienced professionals, 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 presenters.

The call for projects for the next edition of Ateliers d'Angers is now closed. The selection of the five residents will be announced in December.
