The Fourth Annual Caméflex-AFC will take place from 6-10 February 2016 in the Cinema Le Grand Action in Paris, and will honour Iranian cinematographer Mahmoud Kalari. Mahmoud Kalari, born in Teheran in 1951, films three, four, or even six films a year with a simple style and small budgets, in a country, Iran, where the lack of resources hasn’t stopped the blossoming of cinematographic talents recognized the world over.

Thanks to the initiative of Alain Coiffier, for the second year in a row, AFC cinematographers were invited to participate in the San Sebastian Festival. This invitation allowed us to attend the screenings of the Student Film section (“14^th International Film Student Meeting”) in order to choose films that will be screened at the Grand Action Cinema from 9-11 February 2016, as part of Caméflex-AFC, which will be held this year on the theme of “The Transmission of Knowledge”.

They were projected during the 3^rd Caméflex AFC (7-11 February 2015). A member of the AFC presented each film.
