DOC AMAZONIA CARIBBEAN – FIFAC 2025
City of Saint-Laurent du Maroni, Transportation Camp from October 7 to 11
The Doc Amazonie Caraïbe program, supported by Docworld and Maroni Image Center has been one of the pillars of professional meetings since the creation of FIFAC.
By offering documentary writing residencies and training in public speaking through pitches, it plays an essential role in the emergence of new authors and the production of films carried by the unique perspectives of the Caribbean and the Amazon.
This system combines writing support, meetings with producers and broadcasters, and also allows overseas producers to collaborate with French co-producers, thus gaining the trust of broadcasters such as the 1ères Antilles-Guyane channels.
