2010 Collection

A collection of short movies from the Indian Ocean.
Since 2007, the Île Courts Festival offers each year training workshops in script writing and documentary making. Throughout the year following the Festival, the association Porteurs d’Images and the Institut français de Maurice bring their support to the participants and give them the opportunity to make their films in professional conditions.
We present in this DVD the second batch of films resulting from these workshops. These films have been made thanks to the commitment of many professionals and of our sponsors who support us since the beginning.
