Ciclo de cine sobre África

African films will again be present at the annual event that the island of Gran Canaria holds with Africa to celebrate their day, 25th May, for which Casa África prepares a full programme of activities under the common denominator of África Vive. Among these activities, and how could it be otherwise, we find films, an important communication channel of the neighbouring continent that rarely reaches commercial theatres.

The cultural values ​of films over the last 14 years, as a superb teaching resource, help to design a pedagogy with the times we live in, because throughout the historical development of cinema - as an art and industry- we find numerous examples of works that have offered viewers the possibility of forming a scale of values.

Under this premise and as in previous editions of Africa Vive, Casa África brings back to the capital of Gran Canaria a Film Exhibition on Africa to learn more about the reality of a continent in constant turmoil (social, cultural, political and economic).

The films to be screened at the Elder Building of Santa Catalina Park are:

  • 6:30 p.m. Black Diamonds, a film that brings us the story of Amadou and Moussa, captured in Mali by a scout, separated from their families and brought to Madrid to succeed. They arrived in Europe from Africa when they were 15 years old with the promise that they will be football stars. A tour of Spain, Portugal and northern Europe teaches them first-hand the shadows of the so-called "beautiful game", a business that stops treating them like children to see them as "Black Diamonds".
  • 8:30 p.m. Apples, chickens and pipe dreams, a project directed by Inés París and produced by the Women's Foundation for Africa which seeks to give a voice to African women in Spain, a group that is separated and forgotten, from which we get little information or when it reaches us it is stereotyped. Its primary objective is to clarify the term identity through the experiences and testimonies of several generations of girls with African mothers brought up in Spain.
