”African Film and Audio-visual Archives” is the theme for the workshops on sharing experiences and practices held in the framework of the 28th edition of FESPACO. The opening ceremony took place on Monday 27 February 2023 in the premises of ISTIC in the presence of Minister for Culture Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel OUEDRAOGO. Mr Ousmane Boundaoné is the chair of these academic workshops during which about 20 young people from a dozen countries will receive training through two main programmes:
The Yennenga Post-Production (a platform to support film professionals in their various
productions);
The Coproduction market (a platform of business opportunities in the film industry). As far as the programme for the heritage workshops is concerned, the chair Moustapha Sawadogo said this will include both theory and practice. This programme aims to teach, develop and sustain methods for
archiving audio-visual works.
