Les Arcs Film festival and its professional activities are dedicated to the enhancement and development of the European Cinema and its international activities. That objective is represented in various activities integrated in the Festival and its professional events. The basic concept of the professional events of Les Arcs FF is to cover nearly every stage of a film production - from a talent discovery to the presentation of the project at the coproduction market, or in a later stage of post-production to film festival screenings. Such a multi-layered platform proved to correspond well to the attending professionals in need of new projects, which each year attracted most of the key European industry professionals. In Les Arcs, the selection of 25 projects in development and 10 films in the work-in-progress, the editorial choices were made based on the following criteria for the projects: the directors’ experience and status, producers’ credit, sales potential, artistic vision, financing in place, attached partners and the timing chosen to present the project.
