INTRODUCING CIFF LOVE LETTERS: Valentines day has come early! We’ve thought a lot this year about how we can build connections between audience members and filmmakers within a virtual space. One of the hardest things about this year for filmmakers, is that they have not been able to forge spontaneous connections with audiences and hear from them directly. If you’ve seen a film you have loved, click HERE to write a love letter to a filmmaker!
The film intends to challenge Africans across the world to reflect on their own lives and revise what ‘they think they know’ about their heritage and subsequently about their True Self and Identity. Proverbs from multiple African languages, including cultural references are incorporated in the film to expound on the significance of our commonalities in values and perceptions which fuels what we envisage as visual art-forms.
ALLUMUAH simply put is a love letter to all Africans around the globe, championing the idea of unity for Africa’s dignity, progress and prosperity.
