Film festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Three Continents Festival (French: Festival des 3 Continents) is an annual film festival held since 1979 in Nantes, France, devoted to the cinemas of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It was founded by Philippe and Alain Jalladeau.[1][2][3] The top award in the festival's competition is the balloon-shaped Montgolfiere d'or.[1] In conjunction with the festival is the Produire au Sud ("Producers of the South"), a project that provides funding to independent film productions from Asia, Africa, and Latin America.[1]
