Founded in 2002 by film producer and director Mr Jean-Marie BARBE who, more than 20 years ago, created the festival “Les Etats Généraux du Film Documentaire de Lussas” (France), AFRICADOC is a programme for the development of African documentary cinema.. The aim of Africadoc is to develop, together with all African countries, a training network to meet the need for a new generation of documentaries filmmakers, and to set up a network of professionals working in the documentary world.

FORMATIONS

• A Master’s Degree in “Creative Documentary Filmmaking” with the University of St Louis (Senegal);
• 5 Writing residencies by year in various African countries.

SERIES “LUMIÈRE D’AFRIQUE”

In 7 years of existence, Africadoc has been supervising many film projects, from conception to distribution. With a view to reinforcing their identity, these remarkable films have been gathered in the Lumière d’Afrique Collection, which acts as a production “label”. Every year, the serie integrates ten new documentary films resulting from the writing residencies and from the Tënk Encounters.

INTERNATIONAL NETWORK

Africadoc is also a pan-African documentary network carried by young professionals (authors and producers) and their desire to create. As such, various Africadoc associations have been created in several African countries (Togo, Mali, Mauritanie, Niger, Cameroun, Senegal, Burkina Faso) making it possible to structure the Africadoc network, to relay the programme locally as well as to ensure the long-lasting anchorage of the network of
professionals developed over time.

PROJECT FOR SOUTH AFRICA

Africadoc intends to set up for two weeks Workshop/Writing Residencies in South Africa (Johannesburg) in April 2010 for a dozen South-African documentaries filmmakers. By the end of the session, 5/6 of the projects will be selected to attend the Tënk Encounters wich will take place in Senegal in June 2010.

« Anûû-rû âboro » - Festival international du cinéma des peuples
Poindimié, Nouvelle-Calédonie

Ânûû-rû âboro, définition du cinéma signifie : l'ombre de l'homme, en langue paicî

Notre époque est celle des médias de masse, dominés par les grands groupes audiovisuels, au service des seules logiques marchandes. Il est juste et bon de leur opposer d'autres manières de faire, de filmer, de regarder et d'entendre. Changer de logique c'est changer de pratique. Les spectateurs sont d'abord des citoyens, des hommes et des femmes responsables, qui ne peuvent être traités comme d'éternels mineurs.

Pour les peuples qui se lèvent dans le monde et affirment leur dignité, leur histoire, leurs valeurs, il est vital de pouvoir faire des films documentaires hors des modèles dominants, de les faire circuler, de les échanger avec d'autres. C'est à cela que sert un festival comme Ânûû-rû âboro.
(Jean-Louis Comolli, président d’honneur du Festival « l’ombre de l’homme »)
