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.

In 2025, Premiers Plans makes way for its neighbours. The other retrospectives will be unveiled in October.

The 20th edition of the Ateliers d'Angers will take place from Monday 20 to Sunday 26 January 2025.

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 Workshops will be online in July until mid-September.
