With the desire to highlight emerging filmmakers and foster connections with their audiences, RECIF offers several selections.
International “Emergence” Selection : dedicated to first and second feature films, offering a window onto contemporary cinema. Creating a debut film is a demanding journey, from the first spark of a screenplay idea to recognition by professionals and the public. These committed works often touch on the personal and intimate, and are the result of a long creative process.
Pacific Selection : thirteen short films are presented in competition. Discover productions from New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, and even Easter Island.
Always Shorter : an invitation to make short fiction films – funny, inventive, creative, and thought-provoking.
Young Talents : discover the work of young filmmakers from New Caledonia under the age of twenty, with films made independently, in schools, or as part of specialized workshops.
Caledonian program : a selection of clips and short films from the country, several of which reflect an environmental awareness.
Young Audiences : for budding cinephiles, a selection of five short films based on tales and legends from around the world, including one inspired by a story from Papua New Guinea. A treat for the whole family!
While remaining true to its editorial focus on emerging cinema and first and second features, RECIF offers schools a thematic film program centered on the tropical rainforest, its richness, and the threats it faces.
