As well as offering a sound grounding in production and distribution, the strong links between Atelier participants has made it possible to develop a unique network of young European producers.

Atelier Network, the alumni association, maintains and strengthens the network of former students, fostering ties right across Europe between participants who have attended the course over the years. The course laid the foundations for this cooperation, which is fostered through the network’s various initiatives.

The Franco-German Film Meetings association aims to harmonise production structures for Franco-German co-productions and to facilitate distribution of French films in Germany and vice-versa. The association’s annual conference is a key platform for discussions between film industry experts.
