Mad Pigeon
Mad Pigeon is an international series of short films created and directed by Julien Vergne. These brief (usually 2 min, but up to 6 min) and humorous films do not use any specific language: every actor must talk what he thinks to be Danish (no real Danish-speaking actor has ever played in a Mad Pigeon film yet). They are conceived with a universal spirit and are therefore understandable to anybody in the world. The first films were written and played with local authors and actors in Mauritania, Senegal, in the UK and in France. The first films were broadcast for the first time in 2005 in Senegal on RTS2S channel, then in 2006 and 2007 on Canal Plus (France). The Mad Pigeon films were selected at the prestigious Fespaco 2005, the biggest African cinema festival.
