Préludes Award – Call for restoration projects

In 2023, as part of ParisDOC’s Classic Documentary Film Rendez-vous, Cinéma du réel and Préludes launched the Préludes Award, designed to support the restoration of documentary films.

Préludes is an international sales and distribution company as well as a FVOD platform dedicated to debut films. In addition to distributing films, Préludes works alongside emerging filmmakers and supports the restoration of first films.

This call for projects is open to first-time documentary films produced by French, European, or international sources, that were shot in celluloid, and which rights holders are looking to restore ahead of a new theatrical, television, or online release.

Submission deadline: 1 March 2025
