Ildikó Enyedi is named patron of Les Arcs’ Talent Village
- The Hungarian filmmaker will share her experience with the eight young European directors selected alongside their first feature film projects
A programme focusing on the transition from short films to feature films, the Talent Village can once again rely on an impressively high-calibre patron in the form of Ildikó Enyedi (awarded Berlin’s Golden Bear in 2017 thanks to On Body and Soul [+see also:

Succeeding Sweden’s Ruben Östlund in the role, the Hungarian filmmaker will make her way to the Savoyard resort to meet the eight young European directors selected, and to share her experience with them.
Revolving around industry matters and the need for international openness, the Talent Village will see these talented filmmakers refining their projects via three workshops led by Dutch producer Erik Glijnis (Lemming Film), Frenchman Olivier Barbier (mk2 Films), his compatriot Rémi Bigot (Critics’ Week) and Australian musical supervisor Laura Bell. The lucky few will subsequently take part in the Co-Production Village Market, before the Talent Village Prize (5,000 euros put forward by Ciclic Centre - Val de Loire for the very first time) is awarded to the best project.
The filmmakers selected for 2024 (all highly acclaimed for their short films in festivals ranging from Berlin and Cannes to Clermont-Ferrand) are Spanish director Anna Llargués, the Netherlands’ Selma Sunniva, Norway’s Ivar Aase, Poland’s Michał Edelman, Lithuania’s Eglé Razumaité and Lukas Kacinauskas, France’s Titouan Ropert and Italy’s Lorenzo Tardella.
These young Talent Village filmmakers will also get the opportunity to work with four emerging composers (Germany’s Jonas Vogler, Italy’s Lillo Morreale and French talents Célyne Baudino and Electra Drossos) selected in Les Arcs’ Music Village as part of a partnership with Sacem.
For the record, the 16th edition of the Les Arcs Film Festival has already revealed the president of its competition jury (Audrey Diwan), as well as its two guests of honour (French actress Karin Viard and Italian director Matteo Garrone).
