Event
9th Barcelona African Film Festival «Wallay! '26»
From 13 to 24 May, the Filmoteca de Cataluña becomes the epicentre of cinema that looks south with new eyes. «Wallay! '26» returns for its ninth edition with a programme celebrating the boldness, humour and overflowing imagination of contemporary African cinema.
About this event
In every session, the screen fills with characters who defy the rules, landscapes that never quite explain themselves, and a surrealism deeply rooted in the continent's everyday life. Wallay! proposes breaking clichés and discovering African cinema that moves between tradition and the avant-garde with overwhelming vitality.
The starting point will be 13 May at 20:00, with a screening of Katanga, by director Dani Kouyaté, with the participation of Mamadou Khouma Gueye
Wallay! '26 invites you to lose yourself for ten days in a plural, creative and indomitable Africa. A cinema that is not explained, but lived.
