IN CONCORSO

The festival will announce the official selection on 3 June at the press conference, which you can follow here. In the meantime, let's take stock of what we already know.

Last year, the festival had been upset by the sudden arrival of covid. This year, Catherine Bizern and her team have anticipated and proposed CanalRéel: an entirely online festival. The awards were unveiled on March 21, after 10 days of the festival.

March 8 was International Women's Rights Day. The perfect opportunity to put women's work in cinema industries into light with Ada Solomon, the famous Romanian producer, who won the Berlin Golden Bear this year with Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn (Radu Jude, 2020), which raises awareness on women's bodies and sexuality issues.

C’est lors de la conférence de presse donnée par le Festival International du Film Francophone de Namur ce lundi 21 septembre que la sélection du festival a été dévoilée.

Lors de la 77^ème édition de la Biennale de Venise, qui s’est tenue du 2 au 12 septembre, nous avons eu l’occasion de discuter avec Pascal Diot, le directeur du Venice Production Brigde. Cet espace dédié au développement et à la production de projets cinématographiques joue un rôle important, puisqu’il permet, au travers des meetings qu’il propose, la création d’un réseau entre les professionnels de l’audiovisuel et les projets présentés.
