Resumo: This article examines small film festivals in the socio-cultural context of Senegal. Through the case study of the Banlieue Films Festival (BFF) in Dakar, founded in 2013 by Abdel Aziz Boye, I analyse the crucial role of festivals in strengthening the film industry, fostering cinephilia and encouraging the practical application of cultural policies. I suggest that contemporary film production, particularly, in the past five years (2015-2020) has been significantly shaped by grassroots initiatives that have eventually been transformed into structures.  I also explore the role of “rooted cosmopolitans”, borrowing Kwame Appiah’s term in relation to the figure of Abdel Aziz Boye, who founded Ciné UCAD at the Université Cheikh Anta Diop, in Dakar, Ciné Banlieue, and, upon returning to Senegal from France, the BFF. I discuss BFF’s various forms of legacy, concluding that it has been an active agent in forging a new cinephilia and inspiring a wave of young filmmakers in Senegal.

Através do estudo de caso do Banlieue Films Festival (BFF) de Dakar, fundado em 2013 por Abdel Aziz Boye, analiso o papel crucial dos festivais no fortalecimento da indústria cinematográfica, fomentando a cinefilia e incentivando a aplicação prática das políticas culturais. Sugiro que a produção cinematográfica contemporânea, particularmente nos últimos cinco anos (2015-2020), foi significativamente moldada por iniciativas de base que acabaram se transformando em estruturas. Também exploro o papel dos “cosmopolitas enraizados”, tomando emprestado o termo de Kwame Appiah em relação à figura de Abdel Aziz Boye, que fundou o Ciné UCAD na Université Cheikh Anta Diop, em Dakar, Ciné Banlieue, e, ao retornar ao Senegal vindo da França, o BFF. Discuto as várias formas de legado de BFF, concluindo que tem sido um agente ativo na formação de uma nova cinefilia e inspirador de uma onda de jovens cineastas no Senegal.This article examines small film festivals in the socio-cultural context of Senegal.
