2010 August Encounters August Encounters
Monday 23 - Wednesday, 25, Saint-Laurent-sous-Coiron, behind closed doors.
“August Encounters” deal with documentary projects and bring together authors-directors, producers, commissioning editors of French-speaking TV channels and institutional partners.
During these meetings, each pair consisting in a director and a producer presents a film under development. The audiovisual “experts” are requested to criticize each of the projects.
This professional coming together is also meant to be an additional training period in film writing and development.
