AFRIKAMERA 2022: Urban Africa, Urban Movies – Migration & Diaspora is part of a four-year festival focus on contemporary urban cinema from Africa.<\/p>\n

Flight and migration are among the dominant themes of the present. European perspectives dominate the political and artistic discourse, while African perspectives are largely ignored.<\/p>\n

The question of “cultural identity”, the debate about the relationship between the “own” and the “foreign” is no longer dealt with only from the perspective of immigrants. It is being rebalanced, as it were, by those returning to the African continent from the diaspora or from the perspective of filmmakers living in both the global South and the global North. Many productions focus not only on migratory movements from Europe to Africa and back, but also on intra-African migratory movements.<\/p>\n

Accompanying the AFRIKAMERA programme, three 360\u00b0 productions will be presented that deal with themes of migration & diaspora in very different artistic ways.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

by Nyasha Kadandara<\/em><\/p>\n

Kenya 2019, documentary, English OV, approx. 9 min.<\/p>\n

Located in the border region between Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger and Chad, Lake Chad is one of the world’s largest inland water bodies and also one of the most endangered biotopes on the African continent. On the one hand, the water level of the lake is constantly sinking due to climate change, on the other hand, the region is shaken by political unrest and the terror of the Islamist group, Boko Haram, 2.7 million people are fleeing around Lake Chad and live as internally displaced persons in UNHCR camps.<\/p>\n

The 360\u00b0 production LE LAC by Nigerian filmmaker Nyasha Kadandara provides insights into the everyday life of Mahamat, a once prosperous cattle farmer who had to leave his home for fear of the terror of Boko Haram, and Nassuri, an internally displaced person turned fisherman who lives with his family in one of the refugee camps. With disturbingly beautiful images, LE LAC sharpens our view of the vulnerability of people and nature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
