FIFO’s dream night preview

‘API ROA’ FIFO for 2010! This seventh edition will in fact begin from Monday evening, the eve of the official opening, with ‘fiction night’. To announce the arrival on the festival menu, the works of fiction will make a spectacular entrance with this extraordinary evening which will allow all the spectators to discover in the first part, at 7pm, 7 short films from Polynesia, Australia, New Zealand,…and secondly, towards 9pm, a preview with the screening of ‘Mr. Fortune’s Whim’, a 90 minute film which is mainly set in Tahiti. It will be presented by the Managing Director of France 2 which will broadcast this film during 2010.

The public at large in Polynesia has been asking for this opening to fiction. The diversity of the themes, the freedom of the formats and the development of new technologies make fiction the land of favoured expression for a whole new generation of creators. There is no doubt that they will find the resources to give shape to their dreams.

With this in mind, this year the script writing workshop has chosen the short fictional film format as the theme.

From 2011, a real fiction section will be in place and in competition, in the hope that between now and then many Polynesian and Oceania vocations will be born.
