2023 EDITION

 

For its 15th edition, Les Arcs Coproduction Village will present 18 European feature film projects in development or financing. This section of the Industry Village aims at helping the projects to find coproducers, sales agents, distributors and other financing partners. In total, 269 projects have been received and considered and the selection includes 15 different countries.

This year's selection in the Coproduction Village is a 50/50 one, with 9 projects helmed by female filmmakers and 9 by men, while we received only 36% applications of projects directed by women. 10 are first fiction feature projects, 5 second features and 3 by more established filmmakers.

AWARDS

  • ArteKino International Award

An award of 6.000 euros was handed by ArteKino International to one of the selected projects.

This year, the award was granted to the project Kingdom of the Blind by François Robic (France), produced by Moderato (France).

The jury was composed of Rémi Burah (President of ArteKino Foundation and CEO of Arte France Cinéma) and Malo Jacquemin (ArteKino International).

The jury’s motivation for this grant is the following: “We are thrilled to reward a first time movie director with an already strong experience with few shorts and who has developed an original story exploring the thriller genre in a very creative and sensitive way, keeping it off the beaten path.”

 

Projects awarded in previous editions:

2022 - The Visitor by Vytautas Katkus, produced by M-Films (Lithuania).

2021 - Solitude by Ninna Pálmadóttir produced by Pegasus Pictures (Iceland) and coproduced by MP Film Production (Croatia)
