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.
