For the past 10 years, La Semaine de la Critique has been supporting the directors of short films and first features selected at the Cannes Film Festival at the key moment when they begin work on their next project, wether a first or second feature film.

For this new program, international filmmakers meet with composers in Providenza. During a week of brainstorming and sound sessions, they finish the writing of their next film by starting to make its music.

This is the second edition of this program which started in 2023 and is supported by the Sacem and the CNC.

A workshop where script writing and film music creation come together.

This purposefully hybrid workshop is the opportunity for 5 international filmmakers and 3 composers to meet around the vital stage of script rewriting. Directors will spend a week to rework their script and work on score composition with the help of consultants and experts. They will also be encouraged to think about their score very early on, as an integral part of the script, and a rich artistic counterpoint.
