FESPACO: The 23rd African film festival comes to a close

Duration:
18 minutes
First broadcast:
Monday 04 March 2013

The best of the world's arts, film, music and literature brought to you every day. Presented by Harriett Gilbert.

The 23rd FESPACO festival, held in Burkino Faso, has just ended. It's the largest film festival in Africa, and the winner of this year's top prize has just been announced. FABRIC-ATION, at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, is the most extensive exhibition of the British Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare's work to date. It features over 30 vibrant works and includes the premiere of Shonibare's Wind Sculptures, six metre high sculptures which look like giant pieces of batik fluttering in the wind. Art critic Louisa Buck assesses Yinka's work; and Tel Aviv-born writer and jazz saxophonist Gilad Atzmon selects his choice of music which, for him, sum up the country of his birth Israel.
