How can a polycentric, connected world of the future look if the innovative centers of the world weren’t only in “the West,“ but also in the global South, in the African metropolises? At the end of the four year long thematic focus URBAN AFRICA, URBAN MOVIES, AFRIKAMERA will present a selection of cineastic future visions from the metropolises of Africa at Sinema Transtopia. There will also be a curated program with a panel, performance, and a party. In addition, the festival will of course also have current, often prize-winning African productions, among them the Nigerian Oscar submission MAMI WATA by C. J. ‚Fiery‘ Obasi, wherein a village community gets mixed up when doubt arises about the magical powers of Mama Efe, the mediator on earth of the mermaid deity Mami Wata. Or BANEL & ADAMA (D:Ramata-Toulaye Sy), cast with amateur actors, which was in the Cannes competition about an impossible love in a remote village in northern Senegal. afrikamera.de
