European first films festival : Angers supporters behind the screen

Angers city has got an award for hosting the European first films festival for 25 years. That award, a little specific, was granted to the city by Claude-Eric Poiroux, managing director of the even, by a tribute. "If the festival broke through, it is because a cinematographic culture has rooted here. That, thanks to a work along the year with the Premiers plans team", he said on the Angers city website. "The festival has developed actions qwith about sixty local parters, associations, authorities, schools...". 

Who are they? Regarding the public authorities, the festival got the support of Angers city and the Conseil général de Maine-et-Loire (their union is not very frequent...). More than 30 local companies from very different horizons help the event to go on : finance (Crédit Mutuel d'Anjou, Harmonie Anjou), public buildings and works sector (Coignard, Comec, Maleinge), communication (Andégave communication), associations (Adrama-Chabada, Mécène et Loire, Cci de Maine-et-Loire), industry (Eolane, Scania), stores (Abg, La Sadel), wines (Bouvet) as well as brands of the culture sector : cinemas (Gaumont Angers, Le Quai, Les 400 Coups), tourism (Angers parc Expo Congrès) and Angers university.


But British organizations granted their support like the Bristish Council which promotes cultural relations with Uk and the Institut français in London which encourages cross-cultural exchange and presents the best of French culture.
