FESPACO, the Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou opened on Saturday. Africa’s biggest film festival marks its 50th anniversary, buoyed by its contributions to the continent’s cinema industry but overshadowed by security problems in the host country Burkina Faso. Since Fespaco began 50 years ago, no woman has ever won the top prize, the Golden Stallion of Yennenga.
