Postponed for several months due to Covid19, the 27th edition of Fespaco will finally start in a few days.<\/span> A special edition that will once again bring together the best of cinema made on the continent.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Only 4 days left and Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, will vibrate to the rhythm of Fespaco<\/a>. The largest biennial of African cinemas on the continent, will bring together from October 16 to 23, 2021 all the best of African seventh\u00a0 art. A major event that suffered, like several others, the tremors of Covid19. The Pan-African Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou should have been held in February 2021 to respect its usual schedule, but the global pandemic passing through there, the organizing committee led by its new director Alex Moussa Sawadogo<\/a>, decided not to postpone it but to push it back. A baptism of fire therefore for Alex Moussa Sawadogo, for who this 27th edition will be the first as director. An arduous task to which this German-Burkinab\u00e9 has been working since his appointment at the head of Fespaco on October 14, 2020. He will be able to count on his long experience in the management of festivals around the world and to rely on the achievements of Fespaco which exists since 1969. Because the challenges are great. Among them, that of convincing the partners to continue to support this adventure and to win back some partners who left the boat over the years. And to mark the spirits, the festival team undertook a seduction operation marked by a progressive communication which reveals every day the contours of this post Covid edition.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ayilamedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Directeur-Fespaco-Alex-Moussa-Sawadogo-devant-affiche-2021-Ayila-300x225.jpg\")
