Africa in Motion Film Festival is an annual African film festival, now in its 10th year, comprised of film screenings and complementary events. This year’s festival will be held from 23 October – 1 November in Glasgow and Edinburgh. To celebrate 10 years of connecting African cinema with Scottish audiences, our 2015 festival theme ‘connections’ will focus on relationships through cinema — looking at spiritual, physical, social, cultural and geographical bonds with Africa through film. With a diverse programme of films, discussions, Q&As with directors, pop-up cinema screenings, workshops, exhibitions and live performances, there is certainly something for everyone at this year’s festival. We look forward to welcoming you to AiM 2015!

Following the success of our annual Short Film Competition, Africa in Motion has launched a brand new Documentary Competition at this year’s festival. African filmmakers were invited to submit documentaries of 30 minutes or more, and the final shortlist was selected from a wide range of fascinating entries from across the continent, covering varied themes.

The Documentary Competition aims at encouraging and supporting young and talented African filmmakers. The winner is selected by our jury of acclaimed film practitioners and academics and will be announced after the screenings on the second day. The audience will also have the opportunity to vote for their favourite film with the Audience Award winner announced on our website at the end of the festival.

Our thanks go to the Scottish Documentary Institute for sponsoring this award.
