FilmAfrica at BAM

BAM's FilmAfrica returns May 22–28 as a celebration of Pan-African cinema, once again presented alongside DanceAfrica and the New York African Film Festival. This year’s edition highlights contemporary and classic works that trace the continent’s layered storytelling traditions, political histories and evolving artistic voices. Across a week of screenings in BAM’s theaters, audiences can expect a rich mix of features, documentaries and shorts that foreground new filmmakers alongside essential voices in African film history.
