I had the priviledge to travel to Ouagadougou for Fespaco. The pan african film festival that takes place every 2 years in Burkina Faso. Many filmmakers, producers, and other cinema professionals gathered for a week of screenings, workshops and seminars. ’23 marked the centenary of the great Sembene Ousmane. A number of his films were shown, and symposiums were held in his honor. 2 Films that were widely acclaimed; ‘Sira,’ by Appolinaire Traore (Burkina Faso), and ‘Mami Wata,’ by CJ Obasi (Nigeria) enthralled audiences. At festival’s end, the Etalon Yennenga was awarded to ‘Ashkal,’ by Youssef Chebbi (Tunisia).
