This year, we gather under the powerful theme “Reframing the Canvas: Telling Stories Through the African Lens” to honor the voices, heritage, and unique stories that African storytellers bring to life. The festival will explore how poetry and film intersect to reveal the richness of African narratives, illuminate social issues, and connect us all through shared experiences and aspirations.
