Core of the festival’s programme, the Official Competition reveals the talent of European directors that are little distributed outside their countries of origin. It wants to encourage and favour the circulation of their works through Europe.

The 12 feature films are competing for the Cristal Arrow awarded by the festival’s jury. The winner will be granted financial support for the distribution of the film in Europe and throughout the world.

Frederic Boyer is in charge of the selection.
