'Africa in Motion Film Festival'

Tuesday 25 November, 5pm

D1 Pathfoot Building

Free and open to all


With Lizelle Bisschoff (Director), Stefanie Van de Peer and Clare Rossouw
The Director of the festival, along with film selectors will reflect on the achievements of the last three years, and the possible futures of African film and the AiM festival.


Africa in Motion returned for the third time (October 23-November 2 2008) to the Edinburgh Filmhouse, with a more adventurous programme than ever before, including two of the continent's most celebrated filmmakers - Malian director Souleymane Cissé and Burkinabe director Gaston Kaboré. At the festival screenings were introduced by experts on African film and culture, and many followed by discussions and Q&As with directors. Expanding the primary film focus, 2008 introduced a book and DVD stall in the Filmhouse foyer, live African music in the Filmhouse café and an African club night at the Bongo Club.
