A robbery is underway tonight! We're feasting on the power of the Gabonese narrative with Money - because just like love, it also makes the world go round! Showing NOW 🇬🇦📽️

An acute feeling of solitude is pierced by an old man towards a young man for whom visions of old age stones that could be found in the desert are prevalent. Nabil Ayouch's The Blue Stones of the Desert is our Sunday treat and we can't wait to indulge together 🇲🇦📸

This is what happens the stakes are high! Precarity rings louder and nothing-to-lose imbues itself in the blood. Especially in the case of five youth for whom tribulations are systemic, the question becomes : to what end? Dôlè, a Gabonese classic, is showing this Friday 🇬🇦📹

This afternoon, we indulge in filmmaker Hachimiya Ahamada's visual offering, The Ylang Ylang Residence, as Djibril, our lead, confronts the meaning of home while he looks for a new one! Streaming now!🇰🇲🎥

Whew! Watching this felt close to home, tho tribes differ; there were certain similarities in tradition, the greetings for example..then the situation of the women, seen it happen first hand via my maman; times have changed but it still subtly prevails Thank you so much for this

Tonight, a personal, intimate portrayal of a matriarchy in full bloom. Si-Gueriki, the queen mother is contemplative and iconic in its portrayal of women as the foundation on which a society thrives! Streaming now! 🇧🇯🎥

This Sunday, we answer the question: what makes a home? how do you locate the place where you eventually find ease and resting? Our first ever Comorian film, The Ylang Ylang Residence is coming in hot and talk-worthy this Sunday afternoon. Does your excitement match ours? 🇰🇲📷

This Friday, we feast on Mora-Kpai’s exploration of the shifts that occur when change hits an overtly patriarchal society. Si Gueriki becomes queen-mother and a myriad of questions unfurl from this. See you on Friday 🇧🇯 📸

Excited to be screening a Moustapha Alassane short today afternoon. The Ring of King Koda, adapted from a Djerma folktale, exhibits a test of loyalty and its unfurling. Streaming now! 🇳🇪📹
