Writing today’s cinema, revealing tomorrow’s filmmakers

For over sixty years, La Semaine de la Critique has brought to light filmmakers destined to leave a mark on history – from Ken Loach to Justine Triet and Alejandro González Iñárritu. This role as a talent scout naturally echoes our commitment at CINÉ+ OCS, a long-standing partner dedicated to revealing new talents 

A cinema channel by nature, CINÉ+ OCS shares the same ambition: to support debut films, champion bold storytelling, and bring forward singular voices. The films we supported last year - Kika, Nino, Adam’s Sake, Love Letters, Planets - reflect this editorial affinity and the care we take to offer viewers a wide range of perspectives. 

Partnering with La Semaine de la Critique means upholding our belief that cinema is constantly reinvented through fresh faces. As we stand by those making their very first films, CINÉ+ OCS celebrates an art form that is vibrant and distinctly contemporary.

We wish you a wonderful Semaine de la Critique.
