Our Themes
This April, we’ll treat you to 7 Themes. They are Sankofa Women, Roll Call, The Future’s Here, Love Incommunicado, The Strength of Acceptance, Documenting Justice and Advertising Race. Have a look below to see which films are in each Theme. Enjoy!
Ahh…love. Do we communicate between each other to express what love means? Even as we get into relationships and time goes on, how well do we communicate some of the changes that we’re going through. Come and watch this Theme to get some questions answered.
Date: Saturday 23rd April
Time: 4.20pm – 5.36pm
This is a Theme featuring documentaries that delve deep into our perceptions of beauty and after such analysis, we arrive at self-acceptance despite those perceptions. This Theme also is a sweet note to the bonds that we make as women between each other.
Date: Saturday 30th April
Time: 10.30am – 12.40pm
