Lineup in order of appearance:

CAN A BROTHER GET SOME PEACE Dir. Audrey Damier
This film is a cinematic exploration that reimagines Black boys and men not as threats but as individuals running away from them whilst also navigating a world of their own vulnerabilities and complexities. Through quiet moments and layered dialogue, it examines themes of trauma, resilience, and the nuanced dynamics of friendship in the face of systemic challenges.

 

EVERYTHING MUST END Dir. Uwana Anthony
Follow a young man caught between the present and the crumbling illusions of the future. Set in a world where memory feels heavier than reality, the film traces his quiet descent through loss, faith, and identity as he confronts what it truly means to let go. 

 

DA YIE Dir. Anthony Nti (guest film)
On a sunny day in Ghana, a foreigner approaches two children and takes them on an unexpected trip. The three of them get along so well that “Bogah”, the foreigner, starts to question his initial intentions…

 

HIM & I Dir. Jason C. Nwachukwu
A week after their most difficult conversation, a mother and son question what their relationship means to each other.

 

FILES Dir. Akanele Kalu
Files is a series of abstract short stories set within Nigeria – shot with an iphone XR – highlighting the beauty hidden in the mundane realities of life. 

 

LEAVING IKORODU IN 1999 Dir. Rashida Seriki (guest film)
As ten-year-old Momo embarks on a road trip to the airport with her aunt Fade and uncle Mahmoud, uncertainty drives them all to question whether Momo’s departure from Nigeria is truly for the best.
