new film school in burkina faso

director gaston kabore has decided to open a film school in burkina faso’s capital, ougadougou. kabore insists he is grappling with one of African film’s most pressing problems – the lack of training schools in Africa, which means many of the continent’s filmmakers train abroad. “it is not just to make films” says kabore who won the top award at the 1997 fespaco film festival for the film “buud yam”.
