During this time, the institution has grown to become the strategic interface for film in the country, endeavouring to fulfill its three-pronged mission of acting as a 'One-Stop-Shop', providing production assistance, and nurturing local talent. Our aim throughout has been to create an enabling environment for the development of a vibrant local film industry as well as to market Mauritius as a leading destination for foreign filmmakers through various international road shows and exhibitions. The fact that we have by and large succeeded in attracting big production houses from Bollywood and Europe – along with marquee film stars such as Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Gerard Depardieu, among others – bear testimony to the success of our undertakings. Cognizant of the need to nurture capabilities from within our shores, the MFDC has also launched a professional training programme for aspiring artists and filmmakers. The Annual Mauritian Short Film Competition and the Mobile Phone Film Competition have further provided a much-needed outlet for local talent. Moreover, the regular film festivals sponsored by the corporation have proven to be immensely popular with the Mauritian public. As a maturing institution, the MFDC constantly strives for the development of the film industry in Mauritius with the view of making an even more significant contribution to the economy. While grappling with the numerous challenges of an increasingly globalized and competitive world, we will continue to accentuate our competitive advantages and address as best we can the impediments to growth with the primary objective of harnessing the attendant gains of the industry's success. Christian NAYNA Chairman 03 Message from General Manager Mauritius Film Development Corporation The Mauritius Film Development Corporation stands proud to be celebrating this year its silver jubilee and can boast of having seriously pursued its vision and mission since its inception with a view to give a boost to the local film industry and to promote Mauritius as a destination of excellence for film makers around the globe. The MFDC has over the years, under the leadership of several managers, steadily walked the path of success in its many endeavours to fulfil its obligations and today it is a matter of great pride and honour for me to have been given the opportunity to drive the organisation further in its quest to give a service of excellence within parameters fixed by the MFDC ACT. I would like to seize the opportunity on this memorable day to pay tribute to all the employees of the organisation who usually go the extra mile in the delivery of their duties. Since I took office in March 2007, I have been engaged in several projects which I believe were imperative to further facilitate the local film industry in its stride to roll off the ramp. Among numerous initiatives taken by the Corporation, in collaboration with the Mahatma Gandhi Institute, was the development of a programme for capacity Building in the Film Sector. Several training courses were organised in Acting Essentials Level I, II and III and Scriptwriting Essentials Level 1. Certificates were awarded by the prestigious learning institution, the Mahatma Gandhi Institute. The Corporation also conducted a course in Film Direction leading to an attendance certificate. Several other training courses are in the pipeline. One more recent initiative was to secure membership of the World prestigious Association known as “Association of Film Commissioners International” (AFCI) which regroups over 330 film commissions. Membership to AFCI will give Mauritius tremendous visibility within the world film production community and will we hope attract more film makers to shoot in the country. The Corporation has nearly completed procedures to obtain ISO 9001:2008 which will underline the organisation's commitment to provide quality and efficient service. With twenty five years behind us now, present needs press for the corporation to have its own locations and we are contemplating to build our headquarters which we hope will soon be a reality as soon as necessary funds are available. I would like to reiterate my gratitude to all members of the staff who have always acted in the best interest of the corporation. A special thanks to the Ministers who have been responsible for the Corporation from 2007 todate, the MFDC Chairman and all members of the Board for their continued support and guidance. N.

  • A Producer's Handbook
    DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER CHALLENGES A PRODUCER’S HANDBOOK by Kathy Avrich-Johnson Edited by Daphne Park Rehdner Summer 2002 Introduction and Disclaimer This handbook addresses business issues and considerations related to certain aspects of the production process, namely development and the acquisition of rights, producer relationships and low budget production. There is no neat title that encompasses these topics but what ties them together is that they are all areas that present particular challenges to emerging producers. In the course of researching this book, the issues that came up repeatedly are those that arise at the earlier stages of the production process or at the earlier stages of the producer’s career. If not properly addressed these will be certain to bite you in the end. There is more discussion of various considerations than in Canadian Production Finance: A Producer’s Handbook due to the nature of the topics. I have sought not to replicate any of the material covered in that book. What I have sought to provide is practical guidance through some tricky territory. There are often as many different agreements and approaches to many of the topics discussed as there are producers and no two productions are the same. The content of this handbook is designed for informational purposes only. It is by no means a comprehensive statement of available options, information, resources or alternatives related to Canadian development and production. The content does not purport to provide legal or accounting advice and must not be construed as doing so. The information contained in this handbook is not intended to substitute for informed, specific professional advice.

Discouraged by the employment offerings, that do not correspond at all with his experience and capabilities, and demoralized by the innumerous financial obliga- tions accumulated in precedence, he decides to orga- nize the robbery of the century. The police had just stored in a military facility the largest quantity of cannabis ever seized in Switzerland, and it would be burned shortly. Mario decides to put together a gang to ‘substitute’ the cannabis with common hay without anybody being the wiser: in short, the physical evidence disappears, the crime also disappears... Mario searches among those he knows for the possible and trustworthy members of the gang: Ivan, Augusto, Leo, Monica, ‘The Professor’, each of them more impro- bable and desperate than the other, they accept Ma- rio’s plan, all of them convinced to have in their hands the “oro verde” (green gold) that will change definitively their lives.
