Since its creation in 2005, L’Atelier has been stimulating creative filmmaking and encouraging the emergence of a new generation of filmmakers. So far, 115 directors have benefited, 72 films have been made and 20 are currently in pre-production. In 2012, L’Atelier has selected 15 projects from 14 countries for their artistic quality and their originality. The directors will take part in the next edition of the Festival de Cannes with their producers. From May 18 to 25, L’Atelier will arrange meetings with the film industry professionals interested in their project.
