FESTIVAL GUIDELINES IN ENGLISH

INTRODUCTION

The second edition of UDADA Film Festival (UDADA means sisterhood) will be held from 15-20 October 2015 in Nairobi, Kenya.  This women's film festival is the first in the region to feature women's fiction and documentary film productions. The film festival screens short, student, long feature and documentary films made by, or about women from all over the world.

The mandate of the UDADA Film Festival is to:

- Facilitate interaction between women filmmakers; and women filmmakers and their audiences;

- Support and encourage women involved in film production;

- Increase the exposure of new works written and/or directed by women

- Showcase women work to the Kenyan and International film industry for future ventures;

- Provide opportunities for professional development;

- Provide a marketplace for industry. In essence, a reverse trade mission providing local filmmakers and producers access to the national and international film industry;

- Develop and offer youth programs to develop the next generation of filmmakers;

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

The Festival week also features workshops, forums and face-to-face meetings for filmmakers and producers. The Forum focusses on the business of filmmaking while the Festival celebrates international works by women.

Sous la direction de François FRONTY et Delphe KIFOUANI

Collection « Images Plurielles » ISBN : 978-2-343-06986-9 - 21,5 € - 210 pages

Cette publication réunit des textes issus du GRECIREA (Groupe d’Étude Cinéma du Réel en Afrique), un réseau international de chercheurs basé à l’Université Gaston Berger de Saint-Louis, au Sénégal.

Il s’agit ici du premier ouvrage associant des réflexions de cinéastes et une approche universitaire à propos d’un objet marqué du sceau d’enjeux esthétiques et politiques qui traversent tout le continent cinéma.

LES AUTEURS

Sous la direction de François Fronty, cinéaste, chargé de cours en cinéma (Université Paul Valéry Montpellier 3, France) et Delphe Kifouani, cinéaste, producteur, enseignant chercheur en cinéma (Université Gaston Berger, Saint-Louis du Sénégal).

The diversity of the creative documentary in Africa

Under the direction of François Fronty and Delphe Kifouani

Collection "Images Plurielles" ISBN: 978-2-343-06986-9 •-21,5 € - 210 pages

This publication brings together the texts of GRECIREA (Groupe d’Étude Cinéma du Réel en Afrique), an international network of researchers based at the Université Gaston Berger of St. Louis, Senegal. Our goal is to develop a theoretical field in the context of the documentary cinema practice that has emerged in Africa since the 2000s and the spread of digital technologies. This is the first work that combines the reflections of filmmakers with an academic approach regarding aesthetic and political issues that traverse the cinematic experiences on the continent.

THE AUTHORS

Under the direction of François Fronty, filmmaker, in charge of cinema studies (Université Paul Valéry Montpellier 3, France) and Delphe Kifouani, filmmaker, producer, teaching researcher of film (Université Gaston Berger, St. Louis, Senegal).
