	village voice > film > Desert Roses by Stephen Zacks
		Among the best surprises of the 17th edition of the Festival of Pan-African Cinema in Ouagadougou (FESPACO) was a mini-barrage of films portraying independent-minded women within the half-Muslim, half-animist cultures that dominate the semidesert region of the Sahel.
		FESPACO also assists the French government in justifying a postcolonial economic policy that holds most of West Africa in half-slavery through its control of the currency.
		That said, FESPACO is still the premier event in African film and left little question that Africa's cinema has truly come of age in the past few years, taking on ambitious subjects with a new spirit of levity.

	FESPACO Article - 2001 - Burkina Faso Film Festival
		Fespaco (the French acronym for the festival's name) started in 1969, when a group of African film enthusiasts put it together with the help of Ouagadougou's French Cultural Center.
		But the films at Fespaco are as diverse as the audience -- or as Africa itself: there are films from French and English-speaking West African countries, Ethiopia, Congo, Zimbabwe and South Africa and from the Arab countries of North Africa.
		Is there someone out there in the media who wants to do a story with me of this fascinating film festival in the heart of Africa where you can watch a chicken grilled on a bicycle rotisserie and a ferry ride to the neighboring country only costs you 3 pennies, read on.

	Fespaco and the Transformations of Pan-African Film Promotion
		Rather, Fespaco's declared ambition to be the principal showcase of 'Pan-African' film is the challenge that has become difficult to meet.
		While the resulting budget boost is not only welcome but necessary for supporting the immense potential of the most talented African filmmakers, the Fespaco festival will soon stand in danger of being reduced to a mere showcase for the 'diversity' of French cultural imperialism, funded by Paris and Brussels.
		While works during Fespaco's first two decades deliberately served to distance themselves ideologically from Europe, as in Med Hondo's 1985-laureate Sarraounia (1985) and the socio-realist works by double-laureate Souleymane Cissé, the current films have grown increasingly urban and cosmopolitan and are now often filmed partially, if not entirely, in Europe.

		The first Fespaco was held in 1969, when Sankara was probably still in fairly short pants.
		To get to the August 4th Stadium, where the opening ceremony for this 16th Fespaco is to take place, you travel down streets that are named for the heroes of the African revolution.
