"
APA-Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) More than 40 prizes of the 21st Pan-African Festival of Cinema and Television of Ouagadougou (FESPACO) worth about CFA 100 million were disbursed to filmmakers of all African sub-regions, APA noted at the end of the event on Saturday.
West Africa, with 44 films, had the lion’s share by collecting 18 prizes worth CFA 54.4 million, including special prizes awarded on the eve of the closing ceremony.
Host country Burkina Faso has garnered some CFA 24 million for its 19 films in the official competition.
This share of Burkina Faso in particular and West Africa in general is related to the fact that regional institutions (West African Economic and Monetary Union and Economic Community of West African States) as well as local communities and businesses offered prizes open only to sub-regional directors.
This has not prevented North Africa from winning 12 prizes worth CFA 20.5 million.
Despite its 7 feature films, the region did not win the prestigious Golden Yennenga Stallion (CFA 10 million), though it got this prize 5 times since the Festival began in 1972.
However, it still won the two Poulain de Yennenga prizes for short films.
"Sektou (They kept silent)" of Benaissa Khaled from Algeria and "C’est Dimanche” from his compatriot Samir Guesmi were respectively awarded the gold and silver Poulain de Yennenga.
"Ejido the law of profit" of Moroccan Rhalib and “R’DA" of his compatriot Mohamed Bensouda had won the gold and bronze in 2007.
East Africa and the Horn of Africa bagged their first Golden Yennenga Stallion, but also four prizes worth CFA 20 million.
”Teza” by Haile Gerima was recognized as the best film of the event i.e. Golden Yennenga Stallion.
For its part, Tanzania won the special prize of the NGO Plan-Burkina for its series “Elfu Huanza Moja" by Maria Sarungi Tschai dealing with child rights issues.
Cameroon and Gabon alone garnered CFA 10 million for Central Africa.
Daniel Kamwa of Cameroon won the special prize of the European Union Commission with CFA 5 million, thanks to his film "Mâ sâsâ" focusing on corruption.
With 5 awards, Central Africa draws with Southern Africa which attracted CFA 10 million of the overall jackpot.
This accounting does not include honorary prizes, unevaluated technical support nor the scholarships for training and scholarships for the staging of distinguished scenarios.
This ending edition also awarded two prizes for Best documentary and Best film poster to directors.
Special prizes, each worth CFA 1 million, were awarded to the best second achievements while waiting to award three instead of one prize to the videos and sitcoms category.
FESPACO General Delegate Michel Ouedraogo intends to raise some bonuses in coming editions, starting with the Golden Yennenga Stallion."
