Cannes, France, from 21 to 25th April 2010

The International Panafrican Film Festival’s goal is to help discover authors, scenario writers, and directors of the black world or help discover the ones who realized a film on the pan African world, i.e. of African origin or African nationality or of the African Diasporas.

Any person, no matter their origin, can propose a fiction, drama or documentary, long or short film. Yet, only panafrican film makers (Africa, America, Caribbean, Europe, Pacific…) can propose works about other themes than the pan African environment.
 
Film makers can propose several pieces of work in the different categories and film genres (Fiction, animation, experimental, documentary.... )

The closing date for entries of films is January 31th 2010.

• Points of the 1997 Declaration related to this subject:
  - Parag. 18: (...) New means of private funding, from major foundations to small companies, must be encouraged as supplementary sources of funds, particularly with a view to supporting the creation, the expression and the dissemination of contemporary works.
  - Parag. 19: Public and private funding sources are invited to respond favourably to requests made by artists in developing countries or countries in transition. UNESCO’s intervention is particularly necessary in order to identify and publicize existing opportunities for private funding of the arts worldwide.
