As part of the project The Archipelago of Cinemas and for the 8th edition of Île Courts-International Short Film Festival of Mauritius which will be held in Mauritius from 6 to 10 October 2015, the Association Porteurs d'Images launches its Call for Films from the Indian Ocean on the international platform Short Film Depot.
CONTEXT
Since its creation in 2007, Île Courts-International Short Film Festival of Mauritius acts as a toolkit for the development of cinema in Mauritius. Non-competitive, Île Courts Festival is meant to be a showcase for a different cinema in Mauritius, taking us to a surprising journey into world cinema, with a focus given on short films from the
Indian Ocean area, at a crossroad between Africa and Asia. With the Film Bazar Forum which will be held just before the Festival in Reunion Island, Île Courts is also a place to meet and exchange for film professionals of the Indian Ocean.
The 8th edition of Île Courts-International Short Film Festival of Mauritius will take place from 6 to 10 October 2015, in various cities and villages throughout the island.
