The Fundación Tres Culturas shows the best of the latest edition of the African Film Festival of Tarifa (FCAT), an independent film festival that has just closed its 14th edition in May, organised by the association Al Tarab and in which Tres Culturas collaborates actively.
Both this foundation and FCAT focus their efforts on the promotion and dissemination of film as a unifying element that tells stories from different continents through different perspectives.
Our aim is to contribute to intercultural dialogue for a better understanding between peoples by offering a meeting place for the public to enjoy the work of professionals in the audiovisual industry without the obstacle of borders.
