I Ciclo de Cine Africano de Palencia
AMIDECON (Asociación de Amigos para el Desarrollo del Congo, Association of Friends for the Development of the Congo) and África Directo, in their effort to increase awareness in Palencia about Africa´s reality, with the collaboration of Casa África through the Cinenómada programme, as well as Caja España and the Regional Goverment, have organised the first African film season which will take place on the 20th, 21st and 22nd of October at 8:15 pm in the Caja España Projection Hall (C/ Mayor, 54. Palencia). The cost of admission is €1 at the ticket office.
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 programme of the showings is as follows:
19th of October: Atletu, by Rasselas Lakew and Davey Frankel, Ethiopia
20th of October: Imani, by Caroline Kamya, Uganda
21st of October: Victoire Terminus, documentary from the Congo
