Cinenómada en la Muestra de Cine Árabe y Mediterráneo de Cataluña
The Festival of Arab and Mediterranean Films of Cataluña was created in 2006 as an independent cultural project with a clear social impact. It is the joint result of two organisations, la Asociación CineBaix and Sodepau (Solidaritat, Desenvolupament i Pau), each one providing their experience and background to make this initiative possible. It also has the support of Beirut DC, an association of film professionals from Lebanon, organisers of the prestigious festival Ayam Beirut Cine.
All the titles are produced by male and female directors from Arab countries and the majority of the screenings we will be seen in Cataluña for the first time.
The sessions are accompanied by a debate afterwards with the directors, producers or actors and actresses of the films.
The screenings will take place at 20:15h at the Museu de l’Empordà, in Figueres and entrance is free.
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.
