Casa África > Eventos

II Muestra de Cine Casa África

This Second Casa África Film Festival aims to promote and strengthen the knowledge of African contemporary works, not only on an aesthetic and content level, but also in its analytical dimension, in order make audiences aware of African cultural diversity. We aim to break any simplification or stereotype about Africa which might still be in place in our collective imagination, in order to understand the role of the seventh art and of African audio-visual productions both in Africa today and in the globalized world in which we live.

The Festival will take place in the CICCA of Gran Canarias’s capital and will have free admission, with a programme that includes shorts, feature films and documentaries.

The main objective of this project is to further strengthen film as an educational tool which can raise awareness about relevant social issues in Africa and in Spain. Therefore, new to this year’s Film Festival will be an educational section which will take place each morning and offer educational sessions for schools through screenings of appropriate films and lively discussions focused on the values of cultural diversity, cooperation and solidarity.

If you like Africa and you like film, don’t miss this opportunity to discover and analyze the latest films made in Africa. A selection of bold and innovative titles that tell their own political, social, human, romantic, ironic or funny stories. They make up a kaleidoscope of films from all corners of the continent, told by African directors from countries including South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Burkina Faso, Equatorial Guinea, Senegal, Lesotho and Mauritius.
