09/05/2018
The Louis Roederer Foundation will be sponsoring La Semaine de la Critique for the first time, and will launch the Louis Roederer Foundation Rising Star Award.
For the very first time, La Semaine de la Critique jury will present the Louis Roederer Foundation Rising Star Award to an actor or actress from one of the competition’s seven feature films. This award aims to highlight the performer’s work in one of their first appearances on the silver screen or in a particularly notable role in their career. Ever keen to support emerging talents, the Louis Roederer Foundation is therefore working alongside La Semaine de la Critique.
