Project description

The GSCD’s ambition is the operational implementation of development projects through culture in rural Africa. It is committed to the preservation of artistic heritage, the reinterpretation of mythologies, dialogue between cultures and friendship between peoples. Its members are artists and professionals from the world of culture and development.

In order to educate the younger generation about the moving image, to allow local populations to see films in favourable conditions, but also to create social links and spaces for reflection while supporting African cinema, the “Cinéma du Fleuve” project proposes to bring cinema to rural areas. The construction of an open-air cinema and an educational room in Mboumba will allow the screening of African cinematographic works as well as international heritage films.
