With topics ranging from the representation of Africa, female empowerment, diversity, inclusivity, the Black lives matter movement, grassroots community actions, ecology and spirituality; the programme pushed forward stories left out of mainstream narratives— revealing opportunities to connect through progressive storytelling.

The Film Programme serves as a platform for the film industry to reach new markets while exploring innovative distribution and production channels. It is also a space for the global music community to discover music, musicians and projects, as well as look into alternative programming opportunities - further strengthening the conversation between the film and the music industry.
