Zanzibar International Film Festival
(Nigrizia)
XII edition of the Zanzibar International Film Festival. Many accompanying events created on the sidelines of the festival. Combating the spread of AIDS among the central topics.
We are far from the parades on the red carpet of the Film Festival of Cannes or the evening for the handover of the Oscars in Hollywood. Less worldly and more popular participation. Thus it characterizes XII Zanzibar International Film Festival (Ziff), which began June 27 and will end next July 4.
The main theme of this year's festival is the connection between media people and the environment. But more than anything else are the young the true protagonists of the festival. There are projections for a young audience of different age groups, as well as being projected film whose mainstream the role of youth in the revitalization of the continent.Many different events, all designed for the local population. Many cultural spaces for discussion and meeting, where the issue of AIDS and all that entails its diffusion becomes an important teaching moment.
There are also training for what concerns the plight of young women. Then the music: an opportunity to express forms of dispute with regard to politics, unable to offer alternatives to emigration by young people. About emigration, some films just trying to explain to local people what happens when out from the country: the African point of view on a issue that is often monopoly of the northern countries of the world.
Among the films in competition there are the South African productions which, thanks to more budget available, are able to treat most aspects of the costs, such as a photograph. But many are also films that come from Cameroon, Kenya, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Zanzibar film festival, will end Saturday July 4, with the ceremony for the handing over of prizes to winners.
