The festival has two competitive selections — one for feature films and another for short films — which welcome films made by African and/or diaspora filmmakers.
Other parallel, non-competitive sections are open to films from around the world that deal with a theme related to African realities.
The 21st edition of the African Film Festival (FCAT) will highlight films made by women and Afro-feminism.
Between May 24 and June 1, the festival will once again bring together two continents through cinema, in an edition that started on April 9, 2024 with a new extension in Seville.
The poster for this edition was unveiled at the Center for Cultural Initiatives of the University of Seville (CICUS), headquarters of the festival. This is a poetic image from the movie “Daughters of the Dust” (1991) by filmmaker Julie Dash, in which three women appear sitting on a beach with a sorority attitude.
The event ended in the courtyard of the CICUS, with the Sufi touch of the dancer from Tarifa, María Calera.
This 21st edition of the FCAT will focus on “films made by women that feature other women and that highlight women in their plurality”.
Over more than two decades, the African Film Festival has established itself as a showcase and meeting point for African film productions and their diasporas in Spain, Europe and Latin America.
