Cinenómada en Burgos
Once again the Screening room of the University of Burgos starts the new year by setting up the first cycle of African films with a three-way programme together with the Peace and Development Room of the UBU and the NGO Al Tarab, organiser of the African Film Festival of Tarifa (FCAT) and with which Casa África develops the programme Cinenómada, which will provide the tapes that can be seen in this cycle.
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.
Of the twelve years that the Peace and Development Room has been collaborating with the Cinema and Audiovisual Room of the University of Burgos in organising thematic film cycles, this is the fifth that they devote to African films. This cycle aims to contribute to the achievement of a Culture of Peace by raising awareness of other realities, making them visible through cinema, an interesting and pleasant way to try this.
