From December 6 to 10, 2023, the 3rd edition of the Royan Film Festival will take place, an event that annually highlights works that invite us to analyze society through the eyes of filmmakers. It will be an opportunity for the audience to discover up to twenty feature films in previews and meet the teams of some of these films. We will inform you about the program!
During these 5 days of cinema celebration, seven films carefully selected by the organizers will be in competition: Matteo Garrone’s Me Capitan, Julien Carpentier’s My Mother’s Life, Lea Todorov’s New Woman, Koreda Hirokazu’s Innocence. Rosalie by Stephanie Di Giusto, La Ferme des Bertrand by Gilles Père and La Fille de son père by Erwan Le Duc.
Among them, a jury of professionals was specially appointed to make a decision, led by actress Clotilde Courau (last summer’s Le Théorème de Marguerite) and screenwriter Jacques Fieschi (Lost Illusions). The two co-presidents are flanked by director Claire Simon (Notre Corpus), producer Francois Krause and Francois Aimé, cinematographer and honorary president of AFCAE.
Many previews
Outside the competition, the public will also be able to discover the biographical film Bonnard, Pierre and March during the opening ceremony, the animated film My Friend the Robot, the historical drama Honorable Mention with Roshdi Zem and Doria Tillier, the comedy Iris and Men.
