Ivory Coast Storytelling Takes Center Stage at SICA as Government Backs Next-Gen Creators
At Abidjan’s 2025 SICA market, emerging filmmakers from the Ivory Coast took center stage in a government-backed pitch competition.
A tangled love triangle set against the backdrop of family power, social hypocrisy and gender double standards, “Paire de Trois” follows Aridja as she navigates betrayal, passion, and personal freedom. Through initiatives like the SICA Business Hub pitch competition, the Ministries of Communication and Culture and other local actors offer crucial support to help creators turn ideas into fully-realized projects, fostering both innovation and a thriving audiovisual industry.
