The “Diversity in Cannes” festival, sponsored by Viola Davis, was created to encourage underrepresented content creators telling unique stories specific to marginalized populations to share their work in front of a global audience.
This event offers an exceptional platform to promote Guadeloupean diversity and culture on the international scene. We are delighted to send Sévrine Guims, Yannick Rosine, Jade Potin and Yanis Olivary there to defend our values and our know-how. This selection at the “Diversity in Cannes” festival is also an opportunity to strengthen our international network in the field of cinema, thus facilitating the creation and distribution of cinematographic works in our territory.
Zayanfim, film production company
The company’s mission is to produce and export Guadeloupean know-how internationally. With its expertise, Zayanfim is today recognized as one of the leaders in this sector of activity. This journey is the result of hard and deserved work. Three of their short films were selected and awarded international awards, accumulating more than a hundred laurels. Among them, “Timoun Aw”directed by Nelson Foix, was preselected for the 2022 César and “Hey, Chabine!” by Sarah Demonio.
