In my opinion a lack of knowledge and awareness of others is the source of conflict. Cinema is a great instrument for teaching about beauty and tolerance of others. My idea was to show that a whole world can be discovered from a concept that initially seems to be reserved for a specific community\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/BasileBG3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-79377\" src=\"https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/BasileBG3-320x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"452\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/BasileBG3-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/BasileBG3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/BasileBG3-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fifp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/BasileBG3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Eitel Basile NGANGUE EBELLE<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">President<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">M\u00e9daille de Vermeille de la Acad\u00e9mie, Arts, Sciences et Lettres<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-0\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-0\" type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"vc_controls\">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById(\"row-unique-0\"));<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-parent=\"true\" class=\"vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow\" id=\"row-unique-1\"><div class=\"row limit-width row-parent\"><div class=\"wpb_row row-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\"  ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell  boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"uncode_text_column\" ><p><b>ABOUT<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The International \u201cFestival International du Film Panafricain\u201d (FIFP) in Cannes is a platform that exhibits cinema and its professions, arts and entrepreneurship, as well as innovation, culture and events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FIFP was created and founded by Mr. Eitel Basile NGANGUE EBELLE and the \u201cAssociation Nord Sud D\u00e9veloppement, \u00a0agr\u00e9\u00e9e jeunesse et Education Populaire Minist\u00e8re de la sant\u00e9, de la jeunesse et des sports n\u00b0 06514\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a driving force behind the PanAfrican Cinema and Arts industry, the Festival is constantly seeking specific solutions for the development of PanAfrican Cinema and Arts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a booming Pan-African market (from Africa to the Americas through the Caribbean, Europe and Asia), the Festival benefits from expertise in the development of cinema and Fashion as well as the development of cultural affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its creation in 2006, the DIKALO AWARDS (meaning \"message\" in the Cameroonian language Douala) has been awarded by a professional jury for the best short and feature films (fiction), the best long and short documentaries, the Dikalos Peace Award, as well as the best actor and actress awards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FIFP is a felt moment. It is a unique experience where PanAfrican cinema and African cultures and those of its diaspora around the world are the central focus. Exceptional energy is felt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FIFP in Cannes has included along with its projections, conferences &amp; workshops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few years from now, the market which features pan-African arts will generate considerable sums. \"Tomorrow is now\".
