The Preparatory Committee of the Sixth World Festival of Cinema in the Western Sahara (FISAHARA) met Wednesday to discuss preparations for the film festival, which will take place from May 4-9 in the Saharawi refugee camp of Dakhla.
The theme of this year’s festival is "A Stand for Solidarity, a Witness to Freedom, and a Vision of the Future."
Ms. Khadija Hamdi, Minister of Culture of the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) and Chair of the Preparatory Committee, made public the attendance of more than 450 foreign participants from Europe and Latin America. Algerian attendees will also be present as guests of honor.
