"We have 16 years working in Spain are handled other concepts when talking about Africa further than the scope of rights human. Our tool to dismantle stereotypes is the movie. This award which comes from cinema to recognize this work is the greatest honor that we could receive", is the founder of this festival dedicated to show the richness and diversity of the cinemas of the African continent and its diaspora.

"Normalize" the image of Africa through its cinemas is the fundamental objective of the FCAT, which since its creation uses the seventh art as a tool of knowledge and motor for social cohesion. In its years of existence it has attended the social and political changes of a continent with very different cinematic level realities." In recent years we have seen a medley with other speeches, other dynamics, generational and other looks, young filmmakers who come wanting to film themselves having a language more accessible to a global market. Also a transformation had been in the audience at the festival. At the beginning, which came almost exclusively came from the field of human rights, of the NGOs. This audience has evolved, our audience is currently cinephile, attends and participates in the discussions because you are interested in film making in Africa and about Africa and Africa. This process in its cinemas and its public reflects the enormous dynamism that defines this continent in all areas", exposes Cisneros.

We decided to pass the baton to the African filmmakers so they were those who had themselves. Its themes do not differ too much from which they can be found in any other film because all the filmmakers are concerned and worried about their reality, their daily lives, their dreams, its past, its future... "."

With a film fund that exceeds 1,000 titles, the Festival of African Cinema in Tarifa Tanger closed last may its 16 Edition, a call that had a joint official section-"women in Africa have a telluric force.

El festival ha entrado en una adolescencia madura , se ala Cisneros, para quien era un paso l gico el convenio que el FCAT ha firmado con el Universidad del Valle de Colombia que acercar el cine entre frica y Am rica Latina, donde viven m s de 200 millones de hijos de frica. Nuestro objetivo es dar visibilidad a la comunidad afrodescendiente latinoamericana que ha vivido siglos de marginalizaci n, dependencia y cosificaci n .
