Country Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso punches well above its weight in African cinema, home to FESPACO, the continent's most prestigious film festival, held in Ouagadougou since 1969. Directors like Idrissa Ouedraogo brought the country international recognition, and that tradition of thoughtful, humanist storytelling carries through to recent work like Wallay.
