African, Asian and Latin American Film Festival (Italian: Festival del Cinema Africano, d’Asia e America Latina, FESCAAAL) is an annual film festival in Milan, Italy.

Profile

The festival was organized by the Centro Orientamento Educativo (COE) Association as a cultural event aimed to promote cinema and cultures of countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.[1] [2] [3]

The line-up of the very first 1991 edition featured a retrospective on Senegalese cinema and a section on children's rights.[4]

The festival takes place in Milan every spring at different venues around the city.[5] Apart from screenings, FESCAAL hosts various cultural events and round tables,[6] [7] [8] such as Africa Talks, dedicated to environmental discussions.[9]

The MiWorld Youth Film Festival (MiWY) was established in 2020. As part of FESCAAL, MiWY targets schoolchildren and promotes cross-cultural and cinematic discovery.[10] [11]
