L'Année prochaine
Vania Leturcq
Clotilde and Aude are eighteen and have always been best friends. Their relationship is strong and interdependent, as teenage friendships can be. They are finishing school and have to decide what to do the following year, after their baccalaureate. Clotilde decides to leave their small, provincial village and go to Paris, and she drags Aude along with her. But the two friends will experience this departure differently, ultimately splitting up.

Born in 1983 in Namur, Belgium, Vania Leturcq earned a degree in cinema directing at the Institut des Arts de Diffusion (I.A.D) from 2001 to 2004. On leaving the school she worked as an assistant on various shorts and features in Belgium and France. She went on to direct two documentaries (Eautre in 2004, Deuilleuse in 2007) and three fiction shorts (L. in 2006, L'Été in 2009 and La Maison in 2011) all three of which won several awards and mentions in festivals. In 2013 she made her first feature film, L'Année Prochaine.
"L'Année Prochaine starts from the deep desire to talk of transition: from the end of adolescence to the beginning of adulthood. This key moment, when you have to make choices on your future, gradually discover who you are, but also, and above all, decide who you want to be. It is a crucial, exalting moment. But which is also accompanied by loss, distance, sacrifices. [...] L'Année Prochaine tells the story of a friendship, the friendship of Clotilde and Aude, at this precise moment. It shows how the links that bound these two young girls will not stand up to this change, to this imbalance in their relationship. [...] This is what L'Année Prochaine is about: this departure from fusion towards the beginnings of emancipation. And the resulting parting of the ways".
