Unfolding within the context of the 22nd Arras Film Festival (running 5 – 14 November – read our article), the 10th edition of Arras Days will unveil seven projects which are currently in the process of being written and which, on Saturday 13 November, are due to be pitched to a jury of three professionals (the outgoing artistic director of Critics’ Week Charles Tesson, the director of the European Film Market Dennis Ruh and producer Dominique Welinski), with two development grants up for grabs (funded by the festival and the City of Arras). Also conceived of as a co-production and funding platform, Arras Days will also provide producers, distributors and sales agents who are interested in these projects with an opportunity to discover them in situ.
