Le Concours

With Le concours the director delves into the daily life of the Parisian cinema school La Fe´mis, where a specific Republican ideal applies and entry into which can be summed up as follows: "Everyone's equal, but only the best gets in..." Through the admission process, the hard work all year and the graduation exams, Le concours establishes a portrait of our relationship to excellency in Art, showing how a profession chooses its inheritors. But every jury doubts and question itself... In a place of culture where generations intermingle, how do professionals determine who gets in and who doesn't? (Venice International Film Festival)
