“A film that features a character rarely seen onscreen but omnipresent in our societies. We appreciated the unique and internationally-oriented directorial vision, as well as the creative development strategy of the team”.

 

Eurimages Co-production Development Special Award

As part of the special measures adopted by the Eurimages Fund in support of the Ukrainian film industry, the same jury chose to give a Eurimages special Co-production Development Award of €20.000 to 30 Days of Summer by Anastasiia Solonevych (Ukraine), produced by Bosonfilm LLC (Ukraine). 

The jury’s motivation for this grant is the following: “A compelling story of two sisters which invites us to reflect on the different ways of dealing with war, and each other, far from the battlefield. A bold debut feature for a promising writer-director”.

Let’s hope this award marks a new milestone in supporting her in its realization.”

CONFERENCES

Talent Village Music Pitch

 

The Talent Village aims to encourage the rise of a new generation of daring and ambitious film directors, as well as guiding them in the process of creation of their first feature film. Four composers are invited, in partnership with La Sacem, to work on a score proposal for the directors' feature projects.

After weeks working closely together, this year's composers and directors had the opportunity to present the music scores they have specially created for two of the Talent Village feature films projects in Les Arcs. 

Moderated by Nina Benoît (coordinator of the Talent Village) and Laura Bell (music supervisor, The Netherlands)

Conference : From awareness to action tools to fight gender-based violence in the industry

 

Gender-based and sexual violence remains a pressing issue in the film industry, often disrupting productions and leaving lasting scars. In collaboration with Lab Femmes de Cinéma, this roundtable explored strategies for addressing these challenges, drawing on the work of the French professional group RESPECT, notably with producers Caroline Bonmarchand and Alice Girard.

The group has developed a ‘toolkit’ of recommendations focused on prevention, response during production, and management of films affected by this violence, including ensuring theatrical release and handling promotional issues. This session explored these tools and broadened the conversation to Europe, inviting producers and experts to share their perspectives and resources.

Moderated by Melanie Goodfellow, Deadline

Conference : A producer’s life is unfair redefining the creative producer’s role in international coproductions

 

In the complex world of international co-productions, creative producers often find themselves at a disadvantage. While they spearhead projects and shoulder the burden of creative and logistical direction, financial disparities between partner countries can lead to uneven results. During this discussion, we explored strategies for preserving the role of the creative producer, whether a majority or minority co-producer, by ensuring a more equitable distribution of revenue and recognition of their essential contributions. We tried to redefine what fair collaboration means in an increasingly globalised film industry.

Moderated by Pandora da Cunha Telles, Ukbar Filmes and member of the EPC Board of Directors.
