FESPACO
The name FESPACO (Pan-African Film & TV Festival of Ouagadougou) refers to two separate entities which are the Institution and the Festival. Known as the “General Delegation of FESPACO”, the institution is the legal organizing and management body of the biennial event called FESPACO.
The General Delegation of FESPACO is assessed based on the quality of its artistic selection and the successful organization of the African cinema biennale. To achieve this dual objective in a context of security and health crisis, added to a new communication paradigm in the digital era, a new management momentum is required., both in terms of event content redefinition and development of an appropriate strategy.
