La Roche Sur Yon once again prides the place of diversity and eclecticism, taking into account the main international events (except the films shown in the skin). Last year, the festival welcomed more than 30,000 spectators.
Among the hundreds of planned films (including 80 new films), we especially expect Hamnet, Chloé Zhao’s new film, Polskal and Jesse Buckl, the sound of Cauuten Ben Hannia Hindi Rajab, the blue moon, Richard Linker, a silent friend of Ildikó Enyedi. Reduced man by Jan Kunen.
Among the events of this publication, the focus is on Quebec director Chloe Robichad, who will publish his new feature film in review and give his career a master class. The festival will also have a Honor of Honor Camille Cottin, which is especially presented by Le Pays d’Arto and Les Enfants VA Bien as a review. The latter received the award at Karlovy Vary and Angulem festivals.
