III Festival Internacional de Cine Documental sobre Género - MUJERDOC 2012
MUJERDOC 2012 is the 3rd edition of the International Documentary Film Festival on Gender with which Casa África collaborates once again to bring African cinema to its screens. Organised by the NGO Women of the World and the production company Seis Dragones, MujerDOC hopes to be an exhibition platform for documentaries that will contribute to promoting equal opportunities among men and women.
The defence of cultural diversity of the peoples; the phenomenon of migrations and working rights of migrant women; femicide and the treatment of women for sexual exploitation; the oppression exerted by some religions against the right to choose and enjoyment of people's sexual identity; creative women in the prison system, etc., are subjects the Festival covered in its first and second edition and will continue doing so in its third, together with new proposals that are presented.
Casa África will be there for the third year at this date under the guidance of Cinenómada, which takes the screening of the documentary Koundi et le jeudi national, by Astrid Atodji (Cameroon), FCAT 2011 Prize and Miradasdoc 2011 to Soria.
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.
