The Quibdó Africa Film Festival invites you to explore this symbolic meeting place between Africa and its diaspora through films, workshops, talks and artistic exhibitions in an adventure into the unknown in an oscillating journey between the past, the present and the future towards a place that is both memory and representation; a place that invites us to see what we have been and what we have become.
This Festival is the moment for us to turn our daily life into a narrative. The African diaspora needs its own narrative, a new narrative of who we are and what we are. We are narrative beings. Our past, present and future lives are narratives. In the same way that we are oppressed by the narratives, in the same way we are liberated by the narratives. This festival is the moment for us to turn our daily life into a narrative.
THE BAOBAB AWARD, A SYMBOL OF LONGEVITY.
The Baobab is a mythical tree steeped in history, a symbol of peace, non-violence, and longevity. It is certainly the most famous tree in Africa and also the most easily recognizable. If you cross a baobab, you will not be able to ignore it! We meet, we listen to the griot in the shade of the baobab. Many legends are built around the baobab. The baobab can live for up to 1000 years and sometimes beyond.
The Baobab will be awarded by a professional jury for the Best Feature Narrative, Best Documentary, Best Short Narrative, Best Director.
