The cinemas of Africa consistently deliver some of most impressive, urgent, and engaged films in all of contemporary world cinema. Our second annual festival once again showcases the best of African cinema’s diverse and extraordinary films and filmmakers. The quintet of daring films selected this year are all Ottawa premieres, and together reveal five impressive and emerging voices from across the five regions of the African continent. They are at once celebratory, critical, contemplative, and reflexive of contemporary African realities, political and personal.

In partnership with Carleton University's Film Studies and African Studies departments, the Canadian Film Institute is proud to present this second edition of the African Film Festival of Ottawa.

All films are presented in their original languages with English sub-titles. Information about tickets to follow.
