How do you produce your own documentary with public funding? What are the advantages and disadvantages of such an approach? This workshop will look at the specific issues involved in self-producing a short or feature-length documentary for theatrical release. The workshop will cover all the different stages, from development to post-production, including public financing. Félix Larmache will talk about his self-produced films.
The workshop will be given in French but questions may be asked in English.

Les terres lointaines, his first self-produced feature, was released in 2017 and won the Pierre-et-Yolande-Perrault award for best first feature documentary that same year. Since then, he has directed and produced a series of short films, including La frontière (2017), Terres fantômes (2019) and Un fleuve l’hiver (2020).
