The 13th International Festival of Young Cinematographers takes place in Saint-Jean-de-Luz from 7th October to 11th October 2008.
This festival is the showcase for feature films: first or second fiction films by young film directors. Short films have also been included in the competition since 2007.
This year, we will have the opportunity to see 10 feature length films and 11 shorts made by directors from France and further afield: Quebec, Spain, Hungary, Mexico, Italy as well as co-productions from France/USA, Austria/France, France/ Tunisia, France/ Belgium.
Without forgetting the evening entertainment!
The festival will pay homage to Patrice Lecomte on the evening of Friday 10th at 8pm at the Jaï Alaï. His first short and first feature length films will be shown and some of his friends will come along to show their friendship.
As all good things must come to an end, the festival finishes on Saturday night with a closing ceremony and Antoine de Caunes’ film: “Coluche, l’histoire d’un mec”.
