Ecrans Noirs festival returns for its 27th edition in the city of Yaound\u00e9. This great mass of African cinema will be held from October 14 to 21, 2023 and will give to film lovers of the city of seven hills, and those from elsewhere, to discover a varied selection of African films but also to experience many other activities.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"Twenty-seven years after its creation, the Festival \u00c9crans Noirs<\/a> is still there and continues to bring together every year in the Cameroonian capital the best independent African cinemas. A must-see event in the local and African film landscape. This year the festival\u2019s organizing team, led by Cameroonian filmmaker Bassek Ba Kobhio<\/em>, decided to place the festival under the theme: ”Cinema in Africa still an evening school?”<\/strong>. A theme tribute to the famous Senegalese writer and filmmaker of late memory Semb\u00e8ne Ousmane<\/em> who believed in his time that cinema should be an evening school to educate Africans. The theme of the festival that questions this assertion, in view of the evolution of the profession over the years, will be the subject of debates during the international symposium<\/em><\/span> to be held on October 19 and 20 on the sidelines of the festival.<\/p>\n

Essential<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As every year the festival revolves around several activities that have become essential. The first is the traditional climb of the opening and closing steps of the festival<\/em> that will be held this year at the Congress Hall of Yaound\u00e9. A very popular appointment and frequented much more for its rhinestone and glitter side than for its cinematic dimension. For now, the opening film has not yet been unveiled but for the closing ceremony, it is the winning film of the Golden Screen<\/a> that will be screened. And who says Golden Screens necessarily says Official Competition<\/em>. This year, 46 films and series will compete in eight categories: Cameroonian Feature Films, International Feature Films, Documentary Feature Film, Central Africa Feature Film, Short Films, Series and Web Series<\/strong>. Cinephiles and festival-goers will have plenty to enjoy in the various venues that will certainly be known in the coming days. The jury responsible for awarding the various awards is already known.<\/p>\n
