Launched this year to encourage the emergence of a new generation of ambitious European filmmakers, the Talent Village has selected eight young filmmakers (listed below) with their feature film projects. Sponsored by the Danish director Thomas Vinterberg, who will also be giving a masterclass, the lucky winners will participate in a development workshop at La Cinéfabrique school in Lyon, during the week preceding the festival, before joining Les Arcs to present their projects at the Village des Coproductions. A jury will award the Talent Village BNP Paribas Award to the best project with a cash prize of €5,000.
