Festival: 27 October to 1 November 2009

This takes place in Poitou-Charentes Region, France and is NOT restricted to ornithology.

The festival's main purpose is to inspire the greatest public increased awareness of the need to conserve the natural environment. At the same time, it aims to encourage the production and broadcasting of documentaries. About 40 ornithological and wildlife entries, french premieres, will be selected to be screened in competition during public performances.

No fees for entry.

For public screening they need BETA SP, Digital BETA and copies for foreign films in the original version will include an international (music and effects) soundtrack, so that the commentary may be dubbed in French. Of the four tracks on a Beta SP copy, Track 1 will be the original soundtrack., Track 2 is reserved to the French commentary and Tracks 3 and 4 will carry the international M&E mix, if possible in stereo.

The organisers reserve the right to replace the original voice-over with a better quality dub. Send a VHS or DVD copy in the first instance. Films may be up to two years old.
