IV Muestra de Cine Africano de Valladolid
The film showings will be followed by debates that aim to question prejudices about Africa.
UMOYA Valladolid, Comité de Solidaridad con el África Negra (Black Africa Solidarity Committee), will once again bring African films to this city by organising the 4th Valladolid African Film Festival.
The 4th Valladolid African Film Festival will consist of three showings (two feature films and a documentary) followed by a meeting-debate aimed at questioning prejudices about Africa and Africans, while helping us to discover, through knowledge and cultural exchange between Europe and Africa, that there are many bridges that connect us than walls that divide us.
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 festival will take place at the Salón de Actos de Caja España (Plaza de España, 13, Valladolid) during three days, from the 3rd to the 5th of May, at 20:00, and admission is free until capacity is reached. Please arrive 15 minutes before the showing begins.
The programme is scheduled to include the following films:
Tuesday, May 3rd: Yaaba (The Grandmother).
Wednesday, May 4th: Yesterday.
Thursday, May 5th: Arlit, deuxième Paris.
