How to Have Sex

Through its Next Step programme, La Semaine de la Critique guides the short-film directors who were selected for the competition towards their first feature film. Next Step is a 5-day workshop held in France in December. During the workshop, the filmmakers have the opportunity to discuss their projects with international experts and tutors so that they may be advised on their scripts, to understand the reality of the industry and define the right development strategy. Furthermore, the workshop organises meetings with music composers to promote the directors’ attention towards music scoring. This year, three composers will share their experience and expertise during one-to-one consultations with each director, so as to guide them optimally in their artistic choices. In partnership with the Moulin d’Andé-Céci, Next Step is supported by the CNC and the SACEM.
