About the project:

The project, implemented by the Association pour la Promotion de l’Audiovisuel et du Spectacle (APPAS), aims to create a data bank of African audiovisual and film productions (‘BIMAC’).

The project will promote the diffusion of these works on African and international markets, thus reinforcing the visibility and capacities of the audiovisual sector throughout the continent.

  • Collecting and inventorying African audiovisual works including those currently in production; 
  • Developing the physical and technical aspects of the databank;
