In total, 500 films will be presented throughout this week. But only about ten are competing for the prestigious Golden Crystal, won last year by Flee by Jonas Poher Rasmussen.

Also worth noting among the films in competition: works inspired by true events, such as Charlotte, which traces the fate of Charlotte Salomon, a Jewish painter murdered by the Nazis at Auschwitz. And Nayola, a gripping dive into the history of Angola through the destiny of three women.

And Amandine Fredon, who co-directed “Le Petit Nicolas” with Benjamin Massoubre, evoking their love and respect for the work of Sempé and Goscinny.
