La Manufacture de Namur
La Manufacture de Namur is a workshop bringing together students and instructors from French-speaking film schools. The aim of the Manufacture is to help strengthen a genuine network of film schools in the French-speaking world and to encourage exchanges between students. On the programme: film lessons and various meetings giving students practical advice on how to get off to a better start as young film professionals.
For the 3rd edition of the Manufacture, which will take place on 5 and 6 October 2017 at the Palais des Congrès in Namur7 young film students aged between 18 and 25 from all over the French-speaking world have been invited. They are supervised by Isabelle Fauvel and Hakim Mao from Initiative Film (France). These students are also members of the Émile Cantillon Jury, whose task is to award the Bayard prize for the best first film.
Isabelle Kouraogoa student from Côte d'Ivoire at the ESAV in Marrakech, will be taking part in the Manufacture thanks to the partnership between the FIFF and Africalia. After graduating with a degree in Audiovisual Studies in Abidjan, she decided to study cinema and enrolled at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Visuels in Marrakech, in the directing section. Her dream is to make films with a strong political message, because she believes that cinema is the best way of translating our emotions into images.
