I was at dinner last night as we were on the subject of Kenya and a current brochure that tries around to raise funds for a school in Busia, Western Kenya, building had been sent arrived. One of the men at the table who had read the brochure asks a very interesting question. He said: “I do not denigrate it, but the kids happy in the pictures from?”

First, I do not say that anyway to criticize that person. I congratulate him for his honesty and I’m glad he said what he did, because it is a very deep, somewhat, what I would call throws – the history of Africa.

For most people, especially those who have never visited the African continent, the word is associated with various negative images. Hunger, poverty, war, genocide. If a country in Africa, he always makes the news is a bad thing, because what has happened. The images we see starving African children or young men wielding guns and machetes, or a mother in tears because they just lost another child. Thus, Africa is a place of suffering and sorrow. This story is not a positive experience.

It is not surprising that Africa hundreds if not thousands of festivals, each year. Most festivals have a long history of celebrating local culture, historical events and religion. Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, is not one of the best known of Africa, and yet every other year in Ouagadougou, houses one of the most internationally renowned festivals, film and Pan-African Festival Africa Television (FESPACO).

FESPACO began in 1969 by a group of international cinema enthusiasts who wanted to promote a realistic image of Africa and its worldview. The festival was an early robust and secure, but since 1979 the festival every two years from the last Saturday in February every odd year.

The first festival in 1969 was the participation of five countries in Africa and two in Europe, with 24 films, including 18 from Africa and an audience of 10 thousand people. First, the selected films only in Africa. Over the years later he expanded his scope to the production of the filmmakers of the African Diaspora in the Americas, Europe and the Caribbean belong. The 2011 (19) hosted more than 80 countries, 170 films and hundreds of thousands of visitors.
