Festival Theme

REFRAMING THE CANVAS: Telling Stories Through the African Lens

This theme emphasizes the transformative power of poetry film in unveiling and reshaping the narratives of Africa. It invites filmmakers and poets to use their craft as a medium to explore and express the untold stories that define the continent’s richness in culture, history, and experience. By framing these narratives through the lens of African poetry, the festival will highlight the unique perspectives and voices that contribute to a deeper understanding of the continent’s complexities.

As a film festival that combines the power of spoken word poetry and visual storytelling, this event will serve as a space for African poets and filmmakers to express untold stories, challenge stereotypes, and present authentic, nuanced perspectives of African identity, culture, and history.
