Cohort #2 (2022-2023)

8 projects incubated for 2022 / 2023!

The 2nd edition of the incubator brought together 56 participants from 9 regions, divided into 8 teams. From audio description to the Twitch platform, the participants are inventing new ways of experiencing cinema in theatres.

These projects will be unveiled in detail at the final stage of the Challenge, at the La Rochelle Cinéma Festival in July 2023.

CINEXPERIENCE: Making every screening an event

Jury Prize • Professionals' favourite • Honourable mention from the ADRC

CINEXPERIENCE won over the Futura Cinema Jury, all the professionals and the ADRC, which awarded it its Special Mention.

Immersive, turnkey events for the release of new films or the re-release of heritage films. The recipe? Storytelling, easy, guided set-up, durable, deployable set elements and support to optimise local resources and ecosystems. For exhibitors of all types of cinemas and film distributors, with controlled, shared costs and an affordable price. Orders can be placed 3 to 6 months before the screening of a film for a new box, with themed boxes available in the coming months.

The team is made up of Tristan Desplechin, Eliza Calmat and Grégoire Nedelcovici from Dream Factory, Laura Blanc from the Grand Palais in Cahors, Cerise Jouinot from Cinéma de la Cité in Angoulême and Quentin Daniel from Wombat Films, with the support of Marion Tharaud (Haut et Court Distribution).

"It's a project aimed at all audiences and all cinemas, placing the film at the heart of its approach. The film is the experience."

SCREEN SPIRIT: Bringing the stream and cinema worlds together

Splitscreen is a cinema programme + a Festival event: the twice-monthly programme to talk about releases, cinemas, heritage, figures and the making of cinema, and the Festival, which is the high point of the season, in several cinemas in France and simultaneously on Twitch. Streamers will be presenting screenings and animations. Last but not least, Splitscreen is a professional forum designed to forge links between players in the cinema and streaming worlds, with the aim of creating a genuine cinema ecosystem on Twitch and in cinemas.

Project lead by Dimitri Margueres and Romain Besnard (le Club de l’Étoile in Paris), Lucie Lanseman (streamer), Olivier Forest (Festival FAME, Gaité Lyrique) and Olivier Palatre (D.P.L.G. Architect – D.E.F.A. / Scénographer).
