1 PRESENTATION LA FABRIQUE CINEMA DE L INSTITUT FRANCAIS 2018 AT THE FESTIVAL DE CANNES : 10 YEARS! La Fabrique Cinéma de l Institut français has been designed to support new talented filmmakers from Southern and emerging countries. This programme has been developed in close association with the Festival de Cannes and the Marché du Film. Ten projects in development (1st or 2nd feature film) are selected and invited to Cannes. The aim is to create concrete opportunities for these projects by providing access to different activities and personalized support through one-toone and group meetings with key players in the film industry. An international call for entries limited to 120 projects is launched every year. The applications are evaluated by a selection committee made up of script consultants, festival programmers and members of international cultural organisations. The selected directors are invited with their producers for a maximum of ten days during the Festival de Cannes to participate in an intensive and personalized coaching. This programme is meant to help their projects through individual meetings with French and international producers and group meetings, in partnership with the Festival de Cannes and the parallel selections. They also benefit from the strong commitment of the patron of La Fabrique Cinéma de l Institut français. La Fabrique Cinéma de l Institut français will celebrate its 10th edition in Key figures!
