Around the festival : FPCA / FEPACI , FOLLOW UP MEETING
FPCA, Panafrican Film and Audiovisual
Fund, a long awaited project,
recommended by the African Union,
was launched in 2010 by the FEPACI
(Panafrican Federation of Filmakers)
and the OIF (International Organisation
of French speaking Countries).
The objective of the fund is to support
the development of national structures
able to insure the production viability
of high quality artistic and cultural African
Films in all African countries. Following
important meetings supported
by Tunisia and the OIF during the 2010
and 2012 Carthage Film sessions,
FPCA was legally founded in 2013
by historical militants of Panafrican
cinema. The Tunisian critic, African cinema
historian and Film Director Ferid
Boughedir was elected President of
FPCA' s executive committee.
The
2014 Carthage Film Festival meeting
will allow FPCA and its «mother
organisation», the FEPACI to define
together the steps to take in order for
the fund to reach its operational and
executive stage.
