Africa in Motion Film Festival & Afrovibes

Sun 2 November — Sun 9 November 2014

Afrovibes

Welcome to the 9th edition of the Africa in Motion Film Festival, returning ready to bring to Scotland a diverse array of inspiring, innovative and challenging stories from across the African continent. This year’s festival theme is ‘Looking back, reaching forward’, drawing inspiration from the Adinkra symbol of the Sankofa bird, which means ‘reach back and get it’. Using this theme the festival will focus on retrospectives of the past and explorations of the present and the future of Africa, including contemporary and classic fiction features, new and acclaimed short films, insightful documentaries and stunning animation.


This year, Africa in Motion is proud to support the Afrovibes tour of live performance in October and November. Afrovibes Festival is a major international event, bringing some of the very best of South African arts to the UK and the Netherlands, and this is the first time it will be in Scotland.


In 2014, Afrovibes Festival marks 20 years of the New South Africa: 20 years since the ending of apartheid and the beginning of democracy. The creativity of award-winning artists brings us music, theatre, dance, photography and film, reflecting upon what it is to be part of 21st century South Africa. With free events, family workshops and themed food served in the atmospheric Township Cafe, drop by, hang out and belong.
