" A human-scale city with an international film festival focused on films from Asia, Latin America and Africa seems like the perfect setting for young film producers to meet, buid networks and learn at workshops. In the daytime, we would join for the master classes and pitch training. At night, we would attend the festival screenings and discover new films from foreign lands. "

" First of all, Produire au Sud gave me the unique opportunity to meet producers, financiers and film-makers. It also gave me the necessary experience to write and present a project in an accessible way to reach foreign producers at the international level. "

" I was very interesting to see the dynamics of the workshop and to find out how the young producers had an open dialogue with the professionals so that they could feel part of the same cinema world. "
Violetta Bava, Buenos-Aires Film Festival

" Nothing is worth the real meeting between producers, film-makers and investors if you aim at making films out of dreams. From know-how exchanges to ideas exchanges and collaborations, Produire au Sud is a marvellous way to let desire for cinema circulate.
As long as there will be many of us to need meaningfull and share carrying film, meeting like Produire au Sud will be needed. "
Michel Reilhac, Head of cinema department, Arte France
