Cinenómada en el XI Festival de Cine de Lanzarote
African films will be present at this annual event on the island of Lanzarote with the Seventh Art, doing so through Cinenómada, a project for distributing African films that is sponsored by Casa África and managed by Al-Tarab, the organiser of the Tarifa African Film Festival, and which makes its film collection available to associations and institutions that request it.
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.
The Lanzarote Film Festival will fill the island with films from April 26th through May 6th 2011. It is comprised by a series of activities, all of which are related to audiovisual communication and that aim to expand the offering to exhibit and distribute national cinematographic products as well as the insular training and informative offering by making alternative training alternatives available to the island´s population. These activities include the African Short Film Festival, in which Cinenómada will contribute the following films:
