- Abstract
Souad Houssein, Franco-Djiboutian specialist in the cinemas of Francophonie African countries, led and coordinated projects for the development and promotion of cinemas of the countries of the South during her long, nearly twenty-five-year career with the International Organization of the Francophone (OIF). Throughout her tenure, her mission was to manage a funding mechanism for aid in film production (Fonds image de la Francophonie); to support the development of the capacities of professionals; and to contribute to improving the visibility of the films that are financed. As an independent consultant she has embarked upon the vast project of creating a pan-African audiovisual and cinema observatory (OPAC). She reflects on her career and contributions to international organizational efforts to promote African cinemas.
