2016 August Meetings August Meetings
From Monday, 22 to Wednesday, 24 in Saint-Laurent-sous-Coiron, behind closed doors.
Seventeen years. The fine age.
Organised by the Lussas École documentaire since 1999, these meetings are designed above all to be a period of training for those proposing projects which are already well-advanced in their writing. They take place in the little village of Saint-Laurent-sous-Coiron, at some distance from the effervescence of the États généraux but close enough to allow people to participate every evening. During three intense and convivial days based on mutual listening, exchange, rigour, twelve producer-director duos will confront their proposals. The first day, within collective workshops, one of which will be moderated by Céline Loiseau and Vincent Sorrel, the other by Serge Gordey and Raphaël Pillosio. The two following days will provide time for them to discuss their projects in depth through individual discussion with representatives of the entire sector supporting creative documentary: commissioning editors, broadcasters, directors of regional funds and CNC representatives, distributors, DVD publishers and VOD platforms. In the current context of mobilisation and hope for creative documentary, this professional event provides in addition an essential moment to facilitate a common reflection around documentary creation. But these meetings are also and perhaps above all the place where the desire to make a film takes on its full breadth and is affirmatively promoted to the extent that, shortly afterwards, it can be made.
This is the most we can hope for the twenty-four participants in these 2016 meetings.
