For moviemakers..

Dear friends,

The next session of the Résidence du Festival de Cannes will be held from 28th February till 15th July 2007.

The deadline for sending applications is 19th September 2006.

The Résidence du Festival is a wonderful opportunity for young directors to develop their first or second fictional feature film project.

It makes available to them :
- a place of residence in the heart of Paris,
- a personalised programme accompanying the writing of their scripts,
- and a collective programme of forums with film industry professionals.

The residents equally benefit from:
a 800-euro grant per month;
free access to a large number Paris cinemas;
French lessons (optional);
the possibility of attending festivals during their stay.
Registration on line : www.cinefondation.com

The selection of the residents by a jury, presided by a director or a motion-picture celebrity, is based on the quality of their already made shorts - or first feature film, as well as on the interest of the feature film project in the course of being written, and on the candidates' motivation.
