2024 Next Step II

In 2023 La Semaine de la Critique launched Next Step II, a second workshop focused on script writing and score composition, with the support of Sacem and CNC, in partnership with the agri/cultural fabrica Providenza residency in Corsica.

Purposefully hybrid, it is the opportunity for 4 international filmmakers and 3 composers to meet around the vital stage of script rewriting. Directors will spend a week to rework their script and work on score composition with the help of consultants and experts. They will also be encouraged to think about their score very early on, as an integral part of the script, and a rich artistic counterpoint.

This second workshop takes place from September 11th to 18th 2024 in the agri/cultural fabrica Providenza, created by Antoine Viviani in a gorgeous chestnut grove between the villages of Piève and Rapale, in Northern Corsica.

Meant as a second stage after the original Next Step created in 2014, it is designed to support directors who previously had a short film selected at La Semaine de la Critique, on their way to their first or second feature film. 

In 2024, Next Step II welcomes 4 directors (Lillah Halla, Moin Hussain, Jacqueline Lentzou and Gitanjali Rao) and 3 composers (Romain Allender, Pierre Oberkampf and Carla Pallone).
