To bring lim² 2026 to a close, more than a hundred guests gathered for the lim² meet, immersed in a unique setting shaped by the tides, seabirds and beaches of northern Finistère. Among them were European film industry professionals (producers, international sales agents, representatives of film institutions…), audiovisual students and local cultural representatives.
Organised by Le Groupe Ouest as part of the lim² | less is more programme, the event showcased a new generation of committed European filmmakers through the presentation of their feature-length fiction projects. Twelve producers from the Development Angels programme also attended to discover the narrative development methods created by Le Groupe Ouest.
The programme offered all attendees the opportunity to discover the 16 projects selected for the 2026 edition.
For the second consecutive year, lim² pushed the boundaries of immersive and technological approaches. Project presentations and one-to-one meetings brought participants directly into the worlds of the stories, following the unique perspective developed by lim² | less is more. Through the use of sound, visual boards and tools for spatialising ideas, these immersive experiences closely reflected the creative processes explored with the filmmakers throughout the year.
Drawing on recent research in the humanities and cognitive neuroscience (StoryTANK), this approach, unique in France, reimagines how films are developed: through a more collaborative, sensory and experience-based process.
The lim² meet once again reaffirmed its ambition: to be more than a co-production market, offering a unique space for European exchange and collaboration, fostering creativity and opening up new opportunities for co-development in a setting deeply connected to nature.
To conclude the event, participants attended a special preview screening of Ben’Imana by Marie-Clémentine Dusabejambo (lim² 2020), winner of the Caméra d’Or at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
Looking forward to the next edition!
