Maisha Maene’s short film Mulika follows an ‘afronaut’ as he emerges from the wreckage of his spaceship. Descending into the city below the volcanic crater of Mount Nyiragongo he begins to understand what he must do to change the future for his people.
In director Miguel Llanso’s Crumbs, a figurine sized superhero embarks on an epic journey that will take him across a post-apocalyptic, Ethiopian landscape. In search of a way to reach a hovering spacecraft, that for years has become a landmark in the skies, our hero must traverse barren and sulphurous wastelands, plains and marshes.
Doors: 19:00. Screening: 19:30.
