INTRODUCTION
The first AfryKamera Film Festival was organized by FilmGramm Foundation in cooperation with the South African Embassy during the months of April-June 2006. It aimed to use cinematography to bring Africa to the attention of the Polish public. The 1st AfryKamera premiered in Warsaw and also ran in Krakow, Poznan, Lodz, Torun and Konin. The strong media interest and good ticket sales during the first festival in 2006 confirmed our belief that Africa is a theme of immense interest to a growing number of people. Since the very 1st edition, AfryKamera has been well covered in the Polish media, which confirms the great marketing potential of such an event for Africa in general, as well as, for sponsors and patrons.
AfryKamera intends to be a stable and important part of the festival landscape of Poland, not only in regards to cinematography, but also in other cultural areas. We intend to achieve this by:
– Creating an important Award in the region of Central-Eastern Europe for African films created in the last few years.
– Presenting the most interesting movies from the classics to modern films
– Promotion of other aspects of African culture by organizing adjacent events.
Note: All films are screened in Warsaw with select screenings made in other cities (with due consultation with the rightsholders).
