FESPACO 2023 is the 28th edition of the Pan-African Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou. It took place from 25 February to 4 March 2023 in Ouagadougou. The theme of the edition was “African Cinema and Culture of Peace".[1] It was initially announced that the guest country of honour was Togo,[2] but during the installation ceremony of the members of the National Organizing Committee, Fidèle Tamini, the secretary general of the Ministry of Culture, announced that “in view of challenges of the moment, there is no better partner than Mali to be the guest country of honour."[3] A total of 170 films were selected from about 1200 submissions to compete in 11 categories.[4]
Progress
Preparation
The general delegate Alex Moussa Sawadogo, unveiled the official selection during a press conference in Ouagadougou on 13 January 2023. He announced that the estimated budget for the 2023 edition was approximately 2 billion CFA francs.[5] The selection committee was made up of African cinema professionals including:
- Pedro Pimenta - Mozambican producer
- Lina Chabanne - Tunisian producer
- Guy Désiré Yaméogo - Burkinabé producer
- Laza Razanajatovo - Malagasy filmmaker
- Claire Diao - Burkinabé film critic and distributor
- Farah Clémentine Dramani-Issoufou - Beninois programmer and researcher
- Enoka Julien Ayemba - Cameroonian film researcher and critic
- Hawa Essuman - Kenyan director
The Yennenga Workshops aiming to support fims in the post-production phase and to promote the immersion of aspiring cinema professional swas launched. The Yennenga Post-production jury was chaired by South African director and producer Tiny Mungwe.[6] As part of the Yennenga workshops, FESPACO launched the first edition of the French-speaking Africa Coproduction Market called “Yennenga Coproduction”, dedicated to feature-length fiction film projects seeking partners, particularly financial ones, with fifteen directors or producers established in the French-speaking countries of West and Central Africa. 17 feature film fiction projects were selected.[7] The 2023 edition of the Yennenga Academy was supported by Nigerien filmmaker, Aïcha Macky.[8] On 15 September, the United States Embassy donated computers, screens and printers to FESPACO worth more than 16 million CFA francs.[9] On 15 February, 2023, the Burkinabè National Lottery (LONAB) offered 50 million to FESPACO for the organization of the 28th edition.[10]
Context
Preparations for the 28th FESPACO were marred by security concerns. The organizing committee however assured the attending public that security measures were put in place to ensure a "secure FESPACO".[4] The announcement to maintain the 28th edition on the planned date was made on December 1, 2022, a decision taken by the President of the Transition “who notes significant progress in the preparations”.[4]
The Official Poster
This poster designed by El Marto represents the legendary figure of Sarraounia to illustrate the theme “African Cinema and Culture of Peace”. Sarraounia means queen in Hausa. This name was given to an Amazon, political and religious leader of the village of Lougou in Niger, who opposed the Voulet-Chanoine mission. She is the subject of the 1986 film Sarraounia based on the novel of the same name by Nigerien writer Abdoulaye Mamani.[11] The film won the Etalon de Yennenga in 1987. According to the FESPACO communication, the poster is “a symbol of African pride, resistance, and resilience” which “emphasizes a fighter with her warrior attributes at a time when we must highlight the Forces of Defense and Security and the Volunteers for the Defense of the Fatherland, to salute their sacrifice, their courage and their patriotic commitment”.[12]
Opening Ceremony
The opening ceremony took place on Saturday February 25 at the Palais des Sports de Ouaga 2000 with the show I have a dream by choreographer Serge Aimé Coulibaly. The Burkinabe prime minister, Apollinaire Joachim Kyélem de Tambèla and the Malian prime minister, Choguel Kokalla Maïga jointly gave the traditional opening clap.[13] During the professional opening in the evening, the film Bravo, Burkina! by Nigerian director and designer Walé Oyéjidé, which reminds us how interconnected the world was screened. [14][15]
Highlights
Two new statues were inaugurated on avenue Monseigneur Thévenoud from the filmmakers' square in front of the central town hall depicting the Malian filmmaker Cheick Oumar Sissoko and the Nigerien filmmaker Oumarou Ganda.[16] A bust of Ousmane Sembène was unveiled in front of the FESPACO headquarters on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of his birth. His bust joins that of another Senegalese director, Paulin Soumanou Vieyra which was installed in 2017.[17] A week before the festival, free open-air sessions were organized for those displaced by terrorism in the town of Kaya, as well as during FESPACO in the districts of Bassinko, Pissy, Dassasgho and on the Place de la Nation in the city center. After FESPACO, the traditional mini-FESPACO was held in Bobo-Dioulasso.[18] This was followed by another edition from March 15 to 25 in Banfora with the theme of the role of internally displaced persons in the management of the security crisis.[19]
