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.
