After Zambezi Express has departed Bristol for Londons Hackney Empire you MUST check out the awesome Afrika Eye Film Festival...
The Festival that brings you the best of Africa opens with the Scorsese backed TOUKI BOUKI, the surreal and luminous story of two young lovers trying to escape Senegal for Paris. The closing film HAVE YOU HEARD FROM JOHANNESBURG? by veteran Connie Field celebrates the 50th anniversary of the founding of the anti-apartheid movement and in between, films from the DRC and Algeria explore our main theme – power: who holds it and how - with the jewel like Mauritanian AWAITING FOR MEN offering a particular perspective on the power of women within Muslim cultures.
