European Grand Prix for debut films
Once every two years, the Festival international de cinéma et de photographie Images in Vevey recognises films by directors who have recently graduated from European film schools with the Grand Prix for debut films.
The 2006 edition (September 14-18) will show films made by three winners: Marathon Tonton Jules Jules César by Nadège de Benoît-Luthy (Switzerland), Ajudas by Julie Frères (Belgium) and The Leafcatcher by Leo Sedgley (UK).
