Île Courts International Short Film Festival (Île Courts, French: Festival international du court métrage de Maurice Île courts) was an annual autumn festival of world cinema on the island of Mauritius, with a focus on short films from the Indian Ocean area. It was organised from 2007 up to 2018 by the local non-profit Association Porteurs d'Images with David Constantin and others, featuring screenings at various locations on Mauritius, including villages and beaches. Film entries should run no longer than 30 minutes, be spoken or subtitled in French or creole, and fall in one of the genres fiction, documentary, animation, or experimental film.[1][2][3]

Funding

The festival was supported by the Institut français de Maurice (French Institute of Mauritius, fr)[4] and the Festival international du film d'Afrique et des îles de La Réunion (fr). From 2014 to 2016, Porteurs d'Images was funded by the ACPCultures+ programme of the European Union led by the ACP (African, Caribbean and Pacific) Group of States, in the project "The Archipelago of Cinemas - Île Courts-International Short Film Festival of Mauritius".[5]

Invited leading film director

Since 2012, each festival invited a special established film director to serve as the event's godfather or godmother: Moussa Touré (Senegal, 2012), Anurag Kashyap (India, 2013), Newton I. Aduaka (Nigeria, 2014), Ruchika Oberoi (India, 2015),[6] Licinio Azevedo (Mozambique, 2017), and Chantal Richard (France, 2018).

Contents

Each edition of the festival featured various training workshops for filmmakers and script writers, debates, roundtables and professional meetings, such as Forum Film Bazar where film professionals of the Indian Ocean met. The programme Film Fabrik helped young Mauritian filmmakers from scriptwriting to film production and distribution. From 2009 up to 2018, 30 short movies (fiction, animation and documentaries), published in 6 collections, were produced through this programme. In "Fim Zekler" contests short films of no more than ten seconds competed.[1]
