The program of this event, which organizers said will provide Hispanic viewers the opportunity to discover the many facets of the African continent, features the projection of over 100 films, most of which are new in Spain. It includes the organization of four photographic exhibitions and a professional space dedicated to the promotion of co-productions between Spain and African countries.
