International Festival of Cinema and Audiovisual of Burundi
The International Festival of Cinema and Audiovisual of Burundi (FESTICAB) is an annual film festival held in Burundi.
FESTICAB was established by the film director Léonce Ngabo in 2009. It comprises competitions in three ctageories: Burundian films, East African films and international films.[1]
At the 2011 FESTICAB the East African Film Network (EAFN) was founded.[2] The 2015 FESTICAB was disrupted by the protests against President Nkurunziza running for a third term, and many screenings needed to be cancelled.[2]
