What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's explicit European-African framing distinguishes it from Dakar's other film events by centering the cinematic relationship between the two continents specifically, rather than showcasing either European or African cinema in isolation, and its 2025 launch coverage described it as celebrating a shared relationship built over time rather than a one-off cultural exchange gesture
