4th pan-African film festival in Cannes


Now referred to as "the other" festival in Cannes, the Festival of Pan-African Film will kick off in Cannes on April 11-15 at the Espace Miramar. As the name implies, all 50 films reflect African and African-related themes, with films coming from Africa itself, of course, Europe and the US. 15 films are in competition for Dikalo awards. Notable films this year include:

* "The Inevitable Undoing of Jay Brooks", by Jennifer Sharp (USA)
* "Another Man’s Do, Garden", by Sol de Carvalho (Mozambique)
* "Confidences", by Cyrille Masso (Cameroon)
* "Adolfo", by Sofi Delaage (France/Cuba)
* "Le rendez-vous", by Sarra Abidi (Tunisia)

The festival also hosts concerts, scriptwriting workshops and fashion shows. For details, visit le Festival du Film Panafricain.

    Bienvenue!

    Cannes. Magic. Excitement. Sunshine.

    Yes, you can have all that if you come prepared! But you could also get expensive taxis, hotels at an hour's drive, sore feet and culture shock. Stick around for info and tips from the people that know Cannes well. And enjoy Midem, MIPIM, MIPCOM and the Cannes Film Festival.
