The story

Bafata Culture Festival in Bafata

Bafata, birthplace of Amilcar Cabral, is a screening stop on the European Film Festival of Guinea-Bissau's June tour and preserves Cabral's childhood home as a small museum. A locally used Culture Festival name likely refers to this touring film program rather than a separately confirmed standalone event.

Bafata, Guinea-Bissau's second-largest city and the birthplace of independence leader Amilcar Cabral on 12 September 1924, is a documented stop on the European Film Festival of Guinea-Bissau's annual June touring program, which screens films free of charge in Bissau, Quinhamel, Bafata and Gabu with support from the European Union delegation and Portuguese cultural partners.
