The 31st Festival des 3 Continents will take place in Nantes (Pays de la Loire) from 24 November to 1 December 2009.
Since its creation in 1979, the Festival des 3 Continents presents fiction and documentary films from Africa, Latin America and Asia. This year, the festival takes us on a journey from the Horn of Africa to Uzbekistan, Japan and Latin America.
The programme: 12 fiction and documentary films in competition; favourites; previews; and special screenings out of competition. The daily "A l'heure du genre" (Genre Time) slot every evening will delight all fans of the fantasy, horror, thriller or action genres, while "Horizons courts" [Short Horizons] will screen a selection of short films by young directors from three Continents. Then there is "Continent J," a selection of films aimed at younger audiences. Retrospectives and homages are also part of the program.
Film screenings will take place in several venues, including the Opéra Graslin, Galerie des Machines and the Cité internationale des Congrès.
