The Festival of African Cinema (FCAT), also known as Tarifa-Tangier African Film Festival, originally African Film Showcase of Tarifa (Muestra de Cine Africano de Tarifa) (2004–2006) and formerly African Film Festival of Tarifa (Festival de Cine Africano de Tarifa) (2007–2014), the African Film Festival of Cordoba (2012–2015), is an annual festival devoted to African cinema held in the Spanish city of Tarifa and the Moroccan city of Tangier. The African Film Festival of Tarifa, also known by the acronym FCAT, was born in 2004 at the initiative of the NGO Al Tarab, based in Tarifa, in Cadiz province. During the first three years the event was intended as a sample of the best film production from Africa; at the 4th edition it became a competition Festival. The Festival was founded with the aim of publicising a new image of Africa to the Spanish public, away from the stereotypes provided by the mass media. Tarifa was a meeting point and a symbolic geographic space for the meeting and exchange of cultures. The 9th edition of the Festival will be held in Cordoba, its new host city, and will offer 94 screenings coming from Africa as well as from the Arab countries, as a new feature in the event's programme.
