SP-19   Out of France

Introduction:

Five out-of-the-ordinary short films from near and far reflect the diverse mixed cultures of Frankophonic countries. From the streets of Haiti to the Canadian forests - authentic, vehement stories from Martinique, Belgium and Guadeloupe tell of love, market criers and burials - and Creole pigs become poetry.
