Visions Sud Est 2014-2018
01.11.2014
- 31.10.2018
Un film permet d’entrer dans une réalité, de l’interroger et de susciter tant l’émotion que le débat. Il est pour son auteur un moyen de communiquer sa vision des choses. Or dans les pays non industrialisés, produire un film et le diffuser est encore plus difficile qu’ailleurs. Visions Sud Est (VSE) a pour but de soutenir la production d’œuvres cinématographiques indépendantes en Afrique, Asie, Amérique Latine et en Europe de l'Est. Ce soutien favorise l’existence de structures de production dans les pays du Sud et de l’Est.
