As an itinerant training course offered by Canal+ University, the audiovisual training programme run by Canal+ International, L'Afrique au féminin is launching its 3rd edition this year. In partnership with CFI, L'Afrique au féminin is an initiative that aims to support, train and shine a light on filmmakers living in sub-Saharan Africa.
Selected from around a hundred applicants in September 2019, the eight backpack journalists each produced a ten-minute report devoted to “Exceptional Women”.
Following a writing workshop in Côte d’Ivoire and a week of editing training in Dakar, the winners will soon be delivering the fruit of their work. Their reports will be broadcast during a special edition of Enquête d'Afrique, presented by Hapsatou Sy, on March 10 on Canal+ in Africa.
Eight countries are represented this year, with trainees from Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, Mali, Madagascar, Senegal, Chad and Togo.
