AFRYKAMERA 2016: 11th African Film Festival
April 18 - 24, 2016
Kino Pod Baranami presents the ongoing 11th African Film Festival AFRYKAMERA 2016 which is taking place until the 24th of April. The programme includes 27 movies - 12 feature-length (both fiction and documentary) as well as 15 short films and numerous accompanying events. This year’s edition of the most African festival in Poland is entitled States of Revolution and provides a comprehensive look at the Arab Spring and its impact on the region.
The main focus of the festival is on presenting the new post-revolutionary cinema from North Africa, in particular from Tunisia and Egypt. The programme consists of excellent movies awarded at film festivals around the world, including the adored and praised by the audience film As I Open My Eyes (À peine j'ouvre les yeux, dir. Leyla Bouzid).
Besides the North African films, the most interesting feature and documentary works from Sub-Saharan Africa have been recognised, including the beautiful Lamb, set in the mountain landscape of Ethiopia, directed by Yared Zelek (Cannes 2015); the uncompromising The Eye of the Cyclone (L'oeil du cyclone) by Sekou Traoré from Burkina Faso; or The Revolution Won’t Be Televised by the Senegalese filmmaker Rama Thiaw - a poignant documentary on the grassroots artistic movement Y'en a marre (Fed Up), which won the FIPRESCI prize at the recent Berlinale. 
Moreover, the programme comprises a rich selection of short films from across the continent and its diaspora, most of which had never been shown in Poland before.
The Krakow edition of the festival offers a special screening for children (Baranki for Kids) followed by drumming workshops.
Additional events (tasting African wines and delicacies, dance workshops, music parties) are held at: Krakó Slow Wines (ul. Lipowa 6F), Teatr Barakah (ul. Paulińska 28), Kontakt. Przestrzeń Ruchu i Tańca (ul. Szpitalna 40) and Klub ToTu (ul. Floriańska 18).

All the films will be screened with Polish and English subtitles
