We have also finalised the theme for this year's festival: Twende: Africa on the Move (“twende” is a Swahili word which translates as “let’s go!”), a theme that captures Africa’s diverse richness and beauty through movement. Using this overarching theme we will devise a programme that encapsulates all types of movement, literal and metaphorical, from the movement of people across regions and borders with films about immigration and asylum, to political, cultural and social movements, the movement of goods and products, to movement in its more literal form with films about sport, dance and the vibrancy of African cities and street life.
Until we announce the programme for this year's festival, you can watch our highlights video from AiM 2012:
