Africa (and African diaspora) in the Picture

Africa in the Picture (AITP) is an annual film festival in Amsterdam showcasing a unique selection of films from the African continent and its Diaspora. The mission of the festival is to put African and African Diaspora Cinema in the picture! By doing so the festival aims to expand and change the view of Dutch audiences on Africa and it's Diaspora through the promotion of images from an insiders perspective.

This year, as part of the Brasil Festival Amsterdam, the focus is on the African diaspora in Brazil, as over 85% of the Brazilian population has African roots. In collaboration with Caramundo the AITP made a special selection of films that focus on contemporary urban culture in Brazil.

The festival takes place from 5-9 October in the Ketelhuis MC theater.
