Description

Embark on a poignant journey across the Diaspora, where tales of reunion, racism, and ancestral connections converge. From Carine Munyana’s intimate CACOPHONY (15 min.), where an untimely high school reunion and a visit from a tenacious friend shape a day, to David Ontoria’s CONGUITO (15 min.), which follows Malik's quest to reconnect with a long-lost friend while navigating racism. With IN THE WHITENESS (5 min.), director Niya Abdullahi explores the power of poetry and movement in a displaced Harari-Ethiopian woman's life, while Amartei Armar’s YAA (20 min.) immerses us in the intergenerational struggles of Ghanaian women in an unfamiliar land. Finally, in LAST SUNDAY (17 min.) directors Joana Claude and Renan Barbosa Brandão boldly reimagine the timeless parable of the Virgin Mary.
