THE LUNCH BOX
Ritesh Batra Fiction / India and Germany / 2013 / 102′ Languages : Hindi and English with French subtitles
Middle-class housewife Ila makes another attempt at “spicing up” her marriage, this time through the magic of cooking. She has prepared a new dish which she desperately hopes will arouse some interest in her neglectful husband.
She has it delivered to his office, but a mix-up in the delivery service makes the lunchbox land at the desk of another office employee, Saajan, a lonely man on the verge of retirement. Unaware of the mistake, and curious about the lack of response from her husband, Ila folds a little note into the next day’s lunchbox in the hope of getting to the bottom of this mystery.

DEMAIN
Cyril Dion and Mélanie Laurent Documentary / France / 2015 / 118’ Langue : French @ MCine Langue : French, English subtitles @ UoM
All around the world, solutions are emerging!
What if showing these solutions on the screen, telling stories that do us good, was the best way to solve these ecological, economic and social problems plaguing our society? Following the publication of a study predicting the possible annihilation of part of humankind by 2100, Cyril Dion and Mélanie Laurent decided to travel, in a team of four people, to ten different countries in an attempt to understand what could cause such a disaster and how to avoid it. All along their journey, they meet pioneers who are changing the face of agriculture, energy and economic management, democratic processes and education. By piecing together these concrete, progressive projects that are already having their impact locally, they are able to glimpse a world that could emerge tomorrow…

On the occasion of PORLWI by Light, Porteurs d’Images association is offering to transform part of the outer wall of the Photography Museum into a public screen on which to project more than 20 short Mauritian films, all under the banner of a Festival with Lekran Miray.
Between the walls…
of a house, a family, a society.
In these closed spaces where
intimate lives unveil themselves,
dreams are painted
and memory writes itself down.
It is also here that murmur things
of the greatest tenderness
and erupt all that is violent.
When the city’s facades become screens,
film-stories bloom out one by one
from the walls of the Photography Museum
to narrate themselves,
tug at your heartstrings,
carry you away…
To the rhythm of your nightly meanderings,
let yourself, even if for a fleeting moment,
be captivated by one of these stories,
one of these intimate gazes, testimony
of this world we call ours.

Wherever you are on the island, Ïle Courts Festival invites you to embark upon an exciting world tour at the heart of contemporary short filmmaking. Indoor or under the stars, the Festival’s screen spreads itself out this year in Rose Hill, Bagatelle, Port Louis, Chemin Grenier, Tamarin and Mahebourg, for all audiences.
In addition to the Indian Ocean or International programmes, each screening is hosting:
a Mauritian film from the 2014 Festival’s productions for open air screenings
a Mauritian film written and directed by the students of the École du Nord, before each children’s programme
In Mahebourg, an amphitheatre converts itself into an open-air picture house facing the sea. The programme consists of our great favourites of international short films, those that have tugged at our heartstrings; we cast a special eye on the African Metropolis Collection and the films that the Festival invitees have brought in their suitcases from New York and Toronto. Let yourself be carried away, for it’s the very last screening of the 7th edition of Île Courts Festival!
