PREMIERS PLANS FESTIVAL : 22nd EDITION
Since 1989, the Premiers Plans Film Festival takes place each year in the city of Angers, France. In 2009 its
competitive sections, programs and other events attracted some 65 000 filmgoers who discussed and
shared their passion of cinema with young European directors and other professionals. Through the years,
the Festival has become a major meeting of European cinematographic creation, as numerous directors such
as Fatih Akin, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Joachim Lafosse, Matteo Garrone, Arnaud Desplechin, Xavier Beauvois,
Nick Park, Cristi Puiu, Paolo Sorrentino and Thomas Vinterberg were originally discovered in Angers with the
screening of their first films.
Each year, the Official Selection presents a hundred of European first films divided in five competitive
sections: European first feature films, European first short films, French first short films, student films, and
European animated films, as well as two out of competition sections: free style and “next shot”. The official
jury and the public award the laureates with 200 000 euros in prize.
Premiers Plans has two major characteristics: it enables the meeting between the public and filmmakers from
one generation, and also gives the opportunity to discover or rediscover masterpieces of European cinema
on screen through retrospectives highly appreciated and attended by journalists and professionals.
The program of the 22nd edition of the Festival features five major retrospectives:
- Jean-Pierre Melville and his legacy
- Fear in cinema
- Tribute to Guillaume Depardieu
- Karel Zeman
- Cinema schools in Turkey
(next pages : lists of films subject to be changed)
As well as other events:
- Public readings of first scripts from feature and short films
- Lessons, workshops, professional meetings...
- Sneak preview
- Director’s forum: film crews meet the public after screenings
- Program of short films by Pierre-Luc Granjon
- « Nouvelles Images en Région » program
- Readings of cinematographic short stories

JEAN-PIERRE MELVILLE AND HIS LEGACY
Premiers Plans pays tribute to French director Jean-Pierre Melville. Fond of the American Dream, he created
his own universe and style and became himself an inspiring model for many current filmmakers.
Thereby, his 14 films will be shown as well as the ones of his « heirs » : from Martin Scorsese to Aki
Kaurismäki, Johnny To, Quentin Tarantino, Jim Jarmusch…
