ACID programme in Cannes:

Every year, ACID presents 9 films in Cannes during the festival.
This programme of 9 feature films is made by twenty ACID film directors.

Most of these films do not have a distributor. The aim is to give visibility and public release to new talents.

ACID's support does not stop with the presentation in Cannes.
After Cannes, ACID presents the films to 40 festivals in France and abroad.
The ACID Cannes programme is then shown in the fall : in Paris, in 30 movie theaters in the Parisian area, in region and in the US.

ACID also helps the director find a distributor in France, and when one is found, works on the release. Once the film has a release date, the film directors of the association write promoting texts.
ACID then promotes the film among 200 independant movie theaters. At the release, ACID can help with additional copy prints and leaflets for the audience.

All year long, ACID also organizes and financially supports over 300 Q&As, readings, concerts, in movie theaters or festivals, in presence either the film director, the screenplay writer, actors, or the music composer.

ACID is also : partnerships with schools, universities, associations and an audience network throughout the country.
