Cinenómada en el TEA
From the 25th to the 27th of May, the TEA (Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, Tenerife Space for the Arts) will celebrate Africa Day with a series of free activities for commemorating the anniversary of the creation of the African Union. Casa África joins this celebration by contributing a film season through the Cinenómada programme to this very complete schedule of activities.
Casa África´s contribution to this programme forms part of its África Vive initiative with a set of activities that will take place on Africa Day with the objective of bringing Spain and Africa closer together.
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 centres, film libraries, museums and any type of organisation or institution that is interested in promoting African cinema. Cinenómada distributes films throughout the year that would otherwise remain only in specialised festivals.
