Supported by the town of Angoulême, the GrandAngoulême Urban Area, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region and private partners, the festival promotes popular and sophisticated cinema with films from the past and present, as well as acting as a springboard for talents of tomorrow.
There are several prizes up for grabs too, with the winners being chosen by a jury and the public respectively.
Taking place at the end of the summer period, the festival appeals to professionals and amateurs, newcomers and film buffs alike.
