Ciclo de cine: África
The CaixaForum network is La Caixa's charitable foundation and has amongst its main lines of action that of maintaining cultural activity all over the territory in coherence with its founding values and social commitment.
It puts itself forward as a reference entity on an international scale, which is committed to human rights, peace, justice and people's dignity by always maintaining its values: solidarity, integrity, humanity and transcendence.
As part of its cultural activities, Caixa Forum Madrid launches the Africa cycle, which will take films from the neighbouring continent to the capital by the hand of Cinenómada.
Casa África sponsors Cinenómada because it has the same objective as Al-Tarab of making African cinema visible to as many Spanish audiences as possible and of brining Africa closer to Spain.
Cinenómada makes available to various entities a large selection of films from past editions of the FCAT, subtitled in Spanish, which is to date the only offering of this dimension and genre that exists in Spain and that guarantees African producers an income, which although modest, is often the only one they receive.
It targets associations, municipalities, regional governments, universities, cultural centers, film libraries, museums and any type of organization or institution that is interested in promoting African cinema. Cinenómada distributes films throughout the year that would otherwise remain only in specialized festivals.
The films will be screened on Saturdays and Sundays at 18.30h at the CaixaForum Centre Madrid (Paseo del Prado, 36). Entrance is free, but as seats are limited, invitations should be collected beforehand (at 18:00h)
The dates planned for the screenings are the following:
- Saturday 31st March:
- Sunday 1st April
- Saturday 7th April
