Created in 2017, Celebrities Days was conceived for FESPACO with the aim of innovating and enhancing the official program. This initiative places celebrities and cinema partners at the heart of the festivities, honoring their diverse contributions and fostering greater interest in cinema and audiovisual industries.
Throughout the FESPACO week, the following programs take place:
- The “Red Carpet” at the opening and closing ceremonies.
- The “Celebrities Gala” at the Ouagadougou City Hall.
- The “Celebrities Pavilion” at the MICA Pavilion.
- The “Celebrity-Pro” event, which facilitates business networking between film celebrities and other notable figures from the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) across the continent and its diaspora.
