In current cinema from Africa, comedic works have so far received little attention. As a cultural technique, humor and mockery in particular, also of folk origin, unfold their identity-forming power, strengthen social cohesion and become the subject of artistic production.

With the program AFRIKAMERA SHORTS – LAUGH IS POSSIBLE, compiled by festival director Alex Moussa Sawadogo, AFRIKAMERA presents a selection of outstanding comedic short film productions from Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
