The 2015 Collection

Set up by the Porteurs d’Images Association, the Film Fabrik programme has been offering, since 2008, the technical, financial and logistical means to Mauritian scriptwriters/directors to create their films, from the phase of writing the script to that of diffusing the final product. Film Fabrik is the will to foster the development of a unique local cinema, one very much our own yet capable of traveling beyond our borders.
