AFRIKALDIA

BASQUE FESTIVAL OF
AFRICAN CINEMA

The African Film Festival of Vitoria – Gasteiz and claims to become a referent in terms of African cinemas in the Basque Country.

AFRIKALDIA highlights African cinemas, in the plural, because this continent produces a wide variety of very diverse cinema, a reflection in turn of the equally varied and diverse cultural, linguistic, musical, etc. emanating from the continent and its diaspora all over the world.
