Concept
The KID’S FILM FESTIVAL is a four-day festival of discovery that aims at introducing the African youth to the visual art of cinema via screenings and artistic workshops.
Where
The Opera Village in Burkina Faso is an ideal venue due to its infrastructure that includes training rooms, guest rooms, a recording studio, an open-air cinema and small studios.
Why
Even though cinema is a powerful medium in West Africa, there are hardly any children’s movies of African provenance. Therefore we chose KIFIFE’S focus on children’s cinema.
Selection
The KIFIFE’s selection, including documentaries, fiction, short films and animations, is based on African children and teenagers as protagonist or directors, aiming atshowing their everyday reality.
