Africa's biggest film festival rescheduled for October; social distancing, smaller audiences to be prioritised
Ouagadougou: Africa's biggest film festival, initially scheduled to have run in Burkina Faso's capital Ouagadougou in late February, will now take place in October, the government said on 7 April.
The Pan-African Festival of Cinema and Television of Ouagadougou, known by its acronym in French of FESPACO, is an eagerly-awaited showcase held every two years.
This year's edition, the 27th in FESPACO's history, had initially been set for 27 February - 6 March. It was postponed on 29 January as Burkina braced for the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
