Les Arcs Coproduction Village showcases a selection of about 18 projects of European feature films in development presented to professionals. The selected projects will benefit from 3 days of one-to-one meetings with top industry guests, as well as a unique programme of conferences, workshops and networking opportunities. The 16th edition will take place from December 14th to 17th, 2024.
2024 EDITION
For its seventh edition, the Coproduction Village will take place as part of the Industry Village, from December 14th to 17th 2024.
18 European feature film projects in development or financing will be presented this year. This section of the Industry Village aims at helping the projects to find coproducers, sales agents, distributors and other financing partners.
This year's selection in the Coproduction Village includes 16 projects helmed by female filmmakers and 2 by men, while we received only 38% applications of projects directed by women. 10 are first fiction feature projects, 7 are second features and 1 is by a more established filmmaker.

AWARDS
Eurimages Co-production Development Award
The award consists of €20,000 and is granted to support the development of one of the projects of the Coproduction Village. The award is granted to Happy Days by Floor Van der Meulen (The Netherlands), produced by Keplerfilm (The Netherlands).
The jury was composed of Emilia Fort, producer at Avalon (Spain), Eleni Chandrinou, Consultant and Greek representative for Eurimages, and Victor Pothevin, co-head of Acquisitions at Diaphana.
The jury’s motivation for this grant is the following:
“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”.
ArteKino International Award
The award consists of €6,000 and is granted to support the development of one of the projects of the Coproduction Village. The award is granted to Rosa Candida by Clara Lemaire Anspach (France) produced by Haut et Court (France).
The jury was composed of Rémi Burah, President of ArteKino Foundation and CEO of Arte France Cinéma.
The jury’s motivation for this grant is the following:
“Life thrives on the encounters that chance offers us to share. For the protagonists of this film, as well as for the young filmmaker driven by the deep conviction to bring this story to the screen for years, encounters have repeatedly appeared as a sign of destiny. Let’s hope this award marks a new milestone in supporting her in its realization.”
