Curated by Ana Camila Esteves (Brazil) and Beatriz Leal Riesco (Spain), the Brazil African Film Festival brings together an array of contemporary African films, both shorts and full-length features, many of them unreleased in Brazil.

The curators’ selection meets the demand for exhibition spaces in Brazil that showcase recent films produced in Africa and its diaspora over the past five years, and promotes dialogue between the public and the aesthetics and narratives presented in these films, which remain largely unknown to Brazilian audiences.
