CINEMA IN MOTION 2 IN LATIN AMERICA
The San Sebastian International Festival organises Cinema in Motion, a yearly professional rendezvous initially aimed at filmmakers from the Maghreb and Portuguese-speaking African countries, created in collaboration with two European festivals, Amiens (France) and Fribourg (Switzerland), which for several years have been providing efficient aid to filmmakers from these countries, opening new international perspectives for their projects.
The Tarifa African Film Festival also closely collaborates with Cinema in Motion with an annual tour endeavouring to contribute to the regular circulation in Latin America and Spain of films made in the Maghreb and Portuguese-speaking African countries.
The programme will comprise films by directors who have presented their new projects at Cinema in Motion.
The screenings in Mexico, Buenos Aires, Bogota and Medellin will be attended by selected African filmmakers and professionals from the sector in each capital with a view to facilitating contacts and making films known in countries where they are practically absent from the commercial cinema circuit.
The aim of this venture is to familiarise film buffs, critics and professionals in general with the work and directors of Cinema in Motion, while they complete their new projects, and to lay the way for distributors to pick up the baton in the best possible conditions.

Complejo Teatral de Buenos Aires – Fundación
Cinemateca Argentina
5-13 July 2006
Last year, the San Sebastian International Film Festival
launched Cinema in Motion, a yearly professional
rendezvous for filmmakers from the Maghreb and Portuguese-speaking
African countries.
This initiative was created in collaboration
with two European festivals: Amiens (France) and Fribourg (Switzerland),
which have a long-standing tradition of contributing efficient
aid to filmmakers from these countries and of forging new international
paths for their projects.
The young African Cinema Festival of Tarifa
joins Cinema in Movement with a travelling yearly programme
endeavouring to contribute to the regular circulation in South
America and Spain of films from the Maghreb and Portuguese-speaking
African countries.
The programme will consist of films by directors
of projects presented in Cinema in Motion at the San Sebastian
Festival.
The screenings at the Bogota, Mexico and Buenos
Aires film archives will be attended by selected African filmmakers
and professionals from the sector in each capital, with the
intention of facilitating contacts and making known in these
countries a kind of cinema virtually non-existent in commercial
film theatres.
The aim of these efforts is to make film lovers,
critics and professionals familiar with the work and names of
the directors participating in Cinema in Motion,
while they wait to conclude new projects, by laying the way
for distributors to take up the initiative in the best of conditions.
The African Cinema Festival is moreover preparing
a digital catalogue of African films subtitled in Spanish for
non-commercial distribution throughout Spain.

The San Sebastian International Film Festival is launching Cinema
in Movement, a new yearly professional rendezvous intended for
filmmakers from the Maghreb and Portuguese-speaking African
countries, in collaboration with two European festivals, Amiens
(France) and Fribourg (Switzerland), which, with their tradition
of effectively helping the filmmakers from these countries,
will offer their projects new international perspectives.
The result of a reflection started two years ago with filmmakers
and professionals from these countries, Cinema in Motion implies
continuity of the Open Door to the Maghreb season proposed by
the Festival in 2003, highly acclaimed by critics and public
alike, while including the spirit driving Films in Progress
for the last four years as an instrument serving independent
Latin American cinema.
The incorporation of professionals and institutions from Portugal
and Brazil, directly involved in the films produced by Latin
countries in Africa, which already have direct artistic and
industrial relations with the Maghreb, will open specific new
horizons for this rendezvous.
The Festival’s intention with Cinema in Motion is to explore
new ways of helping to complete unfinished projects and films
while serving as an effective meeting place for professionals,
companies and institutions from these African countries, Europe
and Latin America.
Cinema in Motion proposes a programme of unfinished projects
and films from Algeria, Morocco, Mozambique and Tunisia, screening
them for professionals from the different links in the chain
leading cinema to the public.
Cinema in Motion would also like to thank the invaluable backing
of the following entities: Institut Europeu de la Mediterrània,
Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional
(AECI), TV5, IledeFrance Film Commission, Swiss Effects, Kodak
Suisse, Fundación Audiovisual de Andalucía, Ateliers
du Cinéma Européen (ACE) and the Instituto do
Cinema, Audiovisual e Multimédia (ICAM).
Cinema in Motion will propose, on Monday, 19 September 2005,
eight unfinished projects and films from Algeria, Morocco, Mozambique
and Tunisia, screening them for professionals from the different
links in the chain leading cinema to the public.

I am pleased to present for the first edition of Cinema
in Motion in San Sebastian the award sponsored by the post-production
company SWISS EFFECTS, in collaboration with Kodak Suisse and
the Fribourg International Film Festival.
We have decided to grant the award to the Tunisian film:
“Mariage
du Loup”, by Jilani SAADI
We were moved by the symbolic dimension of a story which takes
place in a single night for its cinematographic quality and
especially for the relevance of the editing and the image work.
The support consists of the transfer of the film to Kinescope
by Swiss Effects, with negative delivered by Kodak Suisse and
a copy paid for by the Fribourg International Film Festival.
San Sebastian, 20 September 2005
Award presented by Jacqueline ADA (CNC) and Thierry LENOUVEL

Aid from CNC to complete the film:
In the framework of the 1st edition of “Cinema in Motion”
organized by the Donostia-San Sebastian International Film Festival
in collaboration with the International Film Festival of Amiens
and Fribourg, a CNC grant has been awarded to complete the film.
15,000 euros in financial aid awarded by the French Centre
Nationale de la Cinématographie goes to the film:
“O
jardín do Outro Homen”, by Sol de
Carvalho (Mozambique)
This aid is aimed at the post-production process to be carried
out in France. In addition, the Paris-based company Mactari
will grant a 15,000-euro loan to the Mozambican film for post-production.
Lastly, the International Film Festival of Amiens will provide
a copy of the film in 35 mm.
San Sebastian, 20 September 2005
The Centre Cinématographique
Marocain, represented at San Sebastian by Mohamed Bakrim, Head
of the Promotion and Cooperation Department, officially communicated
the agreement, in principle, for participation of the CCM in L’ANDALOU,
a project presented as part of Cinema in Motion by Algerian
director Mohamed Choikh.
The CCM will hold discussions at the appropriate time with Mohamed
Chouikh regarding the way in which this contribution (in principle
intended for the post-production stage) will function.
