Cinéfondation Atelier 2019


A few days back came the announcement of the fifteenth edition of the Atelier with 15 directors invited to attend the Festival de Cannes.  Together with their producers, they will be able to meet potential partners, a necessary step to finish their project and start the making of their film.

The filmmakers are selected according to the quality of their project and that of their previous films, as well as on the state of progress of their finance plan.  The program will enable them to gain access to international financing and speed up the production process.

In order to help the selected filmmakers, L'Atelier undertakes to publish a Livre des Projects to promote the film projects and present the directors and their film producers to film professionals and the media, plus organize appointments and allow them access to daily Festival screenings.
