"Welcome to our 20th Anniversary Celebration weekend! It’s 2025 and Afrika Eye is celebrating 20 years of bringing films from Africa and the diaspora to the southwest. The task of selecting eight films from the 200 or so we’ve screened in our lifetime was a huge challenge. We hope that there’ll be one or two that you won’t be able to resist .

This is a weekend that you really won’t want to miss out on, with films from Mali, Kenya, South Africa, Senegal, Democratic Republic of Congo and Swaziland to name but a few. Please join us as we sing the praises of those directors who have shone a light into every corner of the continent with keen eyes, and sensitivity to the dramas, the creativity, the politics and the day to day that is Afrika." - Annie Menter, Festival Director.
