Lucas Belvaux (Belgium), François Ozon (France) and Marc Recha (Spain) are among the filmmakers who will hold masterclasses at the second edition of the Angers Workshops (June 30 – July 9).

Initiated by Jeanne Moreau and the Premiers Plans festival organisers, the workshops will this year welcome eight young European filmmakers who are preparing their debut feature.

Directors whose films have been selected include Slovenia’s Blaz Kuttin (winner of the 2006 European Union New Talent award, see news), Belgium’s Savina Dellicour (graduate of the NFTS, London), Norway’s Jakob Rorvik (selected in the Cinéfondation at Cannes 2005), Argentinean director of Swiss origin Milagros Mumenthaler, Lithuania’s Dovile Gaisiunaite and France’s Roland Edzard (Grand Jury Prize for films from European schools at the 2006 Premiers Plans festival), Christophe Le Masne and Emmanuel Saget.

Comprising film screenings, practical work on films by young filmmakers and exercises in directing, the workshops will first look at digital production with digital post-production specialist Franck Montagne and Belgian DoP Louis-Philippe Capelle. Capelle, who supervised the digital post-production of Climates [+see also:

The actress will also hold a masterclass on directing and directing actors with Lucas Belvaux (whose film The Weakest Is Always Right [+see also:

Del Fra will hold the masterclass music and sound the following day with the mixer Gérard Rousseau. François Ozon’s class will close the event.
