The television evening preceded the cinema festival
Martinique la 1ère announced a special evening on 14 October 2026, ahead of CinéMartinique’s twentieth edition on 16–24 October. Its programme was to run for nearly two hours with festival artistic director Steve Zebina guiding viewers through a selection of Martinican short films. The broadcaster named visiting filmmakers including Camille Mauduech, Stève Syracuse and Khris Burton. This was a television editorial event connected with the festival, rather than a simultaneous broadcast of every theatrical screening.
A short film and its making-of were separate items
The programme notice identifies Le Jour des Cendres, directed by Amingo Thora and Bénédicte Bonheur, as a 25-minute fiction film set in Martinique in February 1976. It separately announces a preceding making-of about the production process. A viewer interested in the finished work and a viewer interested in how it was made therefore need different items within the same evening. The filmmakers’ conversations add another format, distinct from either the fiction film or its production feature.
The organiser’s programme concerns venue screenings
Tropiques Atrium’s festival site separates short films, documentaries, feature films, animation and young-audience selections, and organises venue information for Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon and Case à Vent rooms. Those are theatrical programme and discovery routes, rather than a television replay catalogue. The inspected organiser page also retained 2025 festival news, so it should not be treated as a fully current listing merely because it remains in navigation. Both October events were past by this review; no continuing online availability is inferred from their original announcements.
