Afrikamera Special: Afrotronix
From 2024 to 2027, the Afrikamera film festival will focus on four consecutive themes: Believe, Change, Reflect and Create.
Contemporary cinema from Africa has been on the upswing for years. The festival aims to showcase the diverse, inspiring, pioneering and sometimes contradictory perspectives from society and politics on the African continent.
This edition's theme is “Change.” The festival is dedicated to change in all its facets and presents films that highlight social upheaval and raise questions about gender roles, social structures, and power relations. The focus is on works by female and female-identified directors who use different cinematic perspectives to question existing norms and open up new paths for change. The opening will take place on November 11 at City Kino Wedding. The film "Promis le ciel" by Erige Sehiris will be shown, and she will also be there in person.
With a different theme each year, the festival addresses issues that concern young filmmakers in Africa.
