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.

Synopsis
Félicité is an independent and proud woman who works as a singer in a bar in Kinshasa. When she takes the stage, she seems to leave the world around her and forget her everyday worries. She soon captivates the audience with the rhythm of the music and its powerful, melancholic melodies. But one day, her son suffers a serious accident. While he is in hospital, Félicité desperately tries to raise the money needed to have him operated on. She embarks on a frantic tour that will take her through the poorest and richest neighbourhoods of the Congolese capital.
Grand Jury Prize at the Berlinale and the Étalon de Yennenga at FESPACO.
