                                                NEW COMPETITIVE SECTION

For the past 10 years, Premiers Plans has had the out of competition Figures Libres section, which has presented films
from directors such as Pietro Marcello, Claire Burger, Virgil Vernier, Joachim Lafosse, Valérie Massadian, João Nicolau,
Damien Manivel, Clément Cogitore and Albert Serra among others…

In its wake, the Festival Premiers Plans will have a new competition section this year called Diagonales which will pay
tribute to films from France and the rest of Europe, films which are free in their form, format, narrative or length. Every
first film is a promise, a risk, a sign of unique energy… The current financing system increasingly tends to format these
first films. Diagonales will focus on these young directors, who, through their courage, their radicality, their poetry,
their gesture, confirm their singularity and independence, embracing an enthralling “marginal path” which more than
ever needs a cinema theatre to express itself and to go out and meet a curious audience.

This competition will find its place at the Centre de Congrès, in the new hall with 260 seats.

TRIBUTES AND RETROSPECTIVES
Raymond Depardon
In attendance with Claudine Nougaret.
A tribute to the cinematographic work of Raymond Depardon. Born into the rural world he so often films, fascinated
by an Africa he constantly travels through, his documentaries, reports and fictions highlight the voices of those that
often go unheard, reveal the invisible portrait of his country and his time.

From our Correspondent
At a time when fake news is running out of control, when whistle-blowers are constantly threatened, when the press
is undergoing a major crisis, it seems relevant to question, through 20 or so films, the figure and function of the
journalist in wartime, on crime or in political investigations.
