For enthusiastic movie makers with a flair for directing, finding a property in France may be the best way to follow the dream of being a director.

The 26th Edition of the international first-film festival that promotes young up-and-coming film directors will be held in Annonay.

Whether as a spectator or a potential competitor, a property in France could provide someone with a base from which they can learn and develop as a film enthusiast.

Based in part of the Rhone-Alps region of France, the festival attracts filmmakers from around the globe and creates a meeting-point for creative young directors to exchange ideas and impressions.

The emphasis of the festival is to allow entrants the chance to develop contacts and find their footing in a difficult industry.

Five prizes will be awarded including the main award – the Jury Prize. Upon winning this award the filmmaker receives €2,000 (£1,745) and the winning film will be released by a French distributor.

The Rhone-Alpes region in the east of France is home to Lyon – the second largest city in France.
