Return to the grounds of the shooting
Settings: The Mill and the Corner Shop

The Association Porteurs d’Images, Caméléon Production and Lithops Films present LONBRAZ DAN VILAZ, a series of screenings of and discussions around the feature film of David Constantin in villages. After doing the rounds in movie theatres in Mauritius and festivals abroad, it is in the open air that the film LONBRAZ KANN returns to the grounds where it has been filmed, to make a step towards the audiences who don’t have the best accessibility to the island’s movie halls for a screening/discussion right under the stars! At this beginning of winter, make sure to bring along your sweaters and blankets, and we’ll take care of the rest! 🙂



LONBRAZ KANN

LONBRAZ KANN
David Constantin
Mauritius / 2014 / Fiction / 88′
In the presence of the director and the rest of the film crew
Marco, Bisoon and their friends, all ex-employees of the sugar mill where they had worked until its recent closing, are powerless witnesses to the transformation of a world that was once theirs. Right in the middle of sugarcane fields, a complex of luxury villas is being erected, and soon a golf court will replace their village itself. Despite the violence of this economic development that excludes them from the fruits of its profits and humiliates them on a daily basis, slowly, the power of human resistance grows to be stronger than that of domination. United these men were at work, united they will be in facing this tough situation.
