Festival Premiers Plans d'Angers is devoted to first films by European directors and has taken place every January in Angers, France, since 1989. Organised by the Association Premiers Plans, its competition covers first and second European feature films, first European and French short films, films from European film schools, animated shorts, the Diagonales section and Chenaplans, a selection of animated shorts for children aged 3 to 9 who vote for the winners themselves. For the competition, Europe includes the countries of the former Soviet Union.

Beside the competition, professional actors read screenplays in front of the audience, and retrospectives revisit European cinema history. Since 2005 the festival has hosted the Ateliers d'Angers, founded with Jeanne Moreau for young filmmakers preparing a first feature. The 39th edition runs 23–31 January 2027 under the theme “The Age of Machines”.
