“To make a film is easy; to make a good film is war,” Oscar-winning director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu once said. And for filmmakers in a country like Burkina Faso, mired by years of conflict and stability, the challenges are even greater.

But despite the continuing violence, a pan-African film festival in the capital Ouagadougou gathered filmmakers - resilient in the face of conflict - to bring hope through art.

There, we caught up with one of the top Burkinabe filmmakers and explored the art of cinema in Africa; what is on the screen and what is left out. Apolline Traore talks to Al Jazeera.

Norway and the United States have long been close allies and NATO partners, but a growing crisis between Washington and Moscow is testing that relationship.

As NATO puts its forces on alert for potential trouble in Eastern Europe, Norway is also having to ready its armed forces.

With thousands of Russian troops amassed at Ukraine’s eastern border, are the parts heading into a full-scale war?

The Norwegian prime minister, Jonas Gahr Store, talks to Al Jazeera.

As we begin a new year, the United Nations forecasts a lower global economic growth.

For Argentina, this will pose an even bigger challenge. The South American nation is weeks away from a deadline to restructure its debt with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The debt dates back to 2018, when then-President Mauricio Macri signed on to a $57bn loan. His successor, President Alberto Fernandez, rejected the terms of the agreement and sent his economy minister to renegotiate.

Will he succeed? And will the country ever resolve its years-long financial crisis? Argentina’s economy minister, Martin Guzman, talks to Al Jazeera.

According to the United Nations, last year brought "a spate of grave violations" against children in conflict zones, despite decades of advocacy by NGOs.

One of the institutions working to improve the lives of children is Save the Children. Its chief executive officer, Inger Ashing, recently travelled to Burkina Faso as many minors living in the Central Sahel region risk illegal recruitment by armed groups.

But to many in need, NGOs have failed to successfully make a difference in their lives.

So are we failing to protect vulnerable children? Inger Ashing, CEO of Save the Children, talks to Al Jazeera.

Throughout the years, fashion designers have reflected social change.

As many collections have pushed creative boundaries, they have also caused controversy.

On this edition of Talk to Al Jazeera, Christian Dior’s creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, shares her views on the role the fashion industry plays in today's world.

Europe's worst conflict since World War II started in Croatia in 1991 and had spilled over into Bosnia and Herzegovina by 1992.

The bloodshed ended in 1995, after the Dayton Accords were signed. Part of the agreement was the establishment of The Office of the High Representative. Another outcome of the accords: an extremely complex system of government.

The country is led by a presidency consisting of three parts, each representing the main ethnic groups. But how effectively is the nation being governed?

The High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Christian Schmidt, talks to Al Jazeera.

A year from Friday, the FIFA Football World Cup will be held in Qatar, the first-ever to be staged in the Middle East.

Hosting the tournament is a source of great pride for the small country of nearly three million people, which hopes the world's most popular sporting event will create a lasting legacy for the region.

But since winning the bid to host football’s biggest competition, Qatar has been under the spotlight over human rights issues including the plight of migrant workers and its ability to host such a large-scale event.

So is Qatar ready? Fatma Samoura, FIFA’s secretary-general, talks to Al Jazeera.

Iran, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia and China have resumed talks in Vienna aiming to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. The United States is participating indirectly after withdrawing from the agreement in 2018.

But there is another important party in the diplomatic efforts being made: the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The nuclear watchdog has kept communication and dialogue open with all the parties involved. But as disagreements and tensions on key issues remain unresolved, what would it take for the talks to succeed? And if negotiations fail, what’s next?

The IAEA Director General, Rafael Mariano Grossi, talks to Al Jazeera.

Iran and world powers resumed talks aiming to revive the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal.

Following the Iranian elections in June, a new negotiating team is representing the Islamic republic in the Vienna talks. So what are their top demands? And are they realistic?

In an exclusive interview, Iran’s deputy foreign minister and chief nuclear negotiator, Ali Bagheri Kani, talks to Al Jazeera.

Following the military's takeover in Sudan on October 25, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the house arrest of Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, it took nearly a month of negotiations to reach an agreement.

But there is another significant figure in the country’s political dynamics: General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.

He is al-Buhan’s deputy in the sovereign council and the leader of the Rapid Support Forces, the army’s strongest division.

As many in Sudan and the region consider him the country’s most powerful figure, would he like to become the next president?
