The Centre Universitaire des Arts is launching its first edition of Festival Arts Azimut from January 25 till February 2nd
Odile Gakire Katese needs your help and advice on the following issues:
• CUA would like to put in place a photo book of the festival. She needs your suggestions concerning the editing and production of this book.
• CUA would also like to put in a place a Festival television, whereby each day the festival’s activities would be filmed and then sent out for the diffusion on the national television. For this they need to rent out 4 cameras and a mounting station, which are really expensive. Odile welcomes all your suggestions on this point.
• Odile would also welcome your suggestions concerning potential funders for the festival.
For any suggestions and advice on these points please contact Odile Gakire Katese cua_centre@yahoo.fr
