The festival is not about film screening alone. There are also numerous events around the festival and ZIFF gives exposure, not only to films and filmmakers, but it also gives that exposure to different forms of art: music, dance, painting, photography.

It was a surprise! I didn’t know and it seems like I was the only one who didn’t know I would be receiving an award. People in my entourage knew.

This means more open doors to us, internationally. You know, Sembène is the father of the African cinema, the film was given this award because it reflects his aspirations: African filmmakers telling African stories that awaken society.

We are three African co-productions and we hope to have at least 40% of the budget on our side, and on the other side, that it also comes from Europe. International co-production is important for distribution. We need our films not only to be seen in Africa, but also to be seen in Europe.
