Created in 2005, L’Atelier was created by La Cinéfondation to stimulate creative filmmaking and help foster a new generation of filmmakers. So far, out of the 246 projects L’Atelier has overseen, 172 have been released in the theaters and 23 are currently in pre-production. For its 17th edition, 15 projects from 15 different countries — from beginning and seasoned filmmakers — will be showcased at the Festival.
