Odyssey/Africa10 at Cannes

About Odyssey - Odyssey Pictures Corporation was founded in 1989 as a publicly traded entertainment company specializing in the financing and distribution of motion pictures.

About “Africa10” - The 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ will be the biggest event in the history of modern Africa. A global viewing audience, estimated between 2-3 billion, will be focused on Africa. The world will see the diversity, passion and possibilities of the continent. “Africa10” is a feature length documentary that portrays the transcendent power of soccer in modern African — a power that has helped transform the lives of individuals, of countries, and perhaps even of the continent itself. Crossing seven countries on the continent, “Africa10” has uncovered a series of inspiring, challenging and ultimately joyful African stories. Men and women, young and old, boys and girls, non-disabled and disabled, free and oppressed alike: Africans are absolutely passionate about soccer. By following stories that span the continent, we gain insight into the players, fans, and countrymen who see “The African Game” as a symbol of personal salvation, national unity, and potentially even a pan-African renaissance. The "Africa10" film will be ready for theatrical distribution, on television, DVD and via download in the months after the World Cup.
