The vitality of the African city has provided local filmmakers with a rich array of stories for their films. African Metropolis presents six short films that examine the complexity of urban life in Abidjan, Cairo, Dakar, Johannesburg, Lagos and Nairobi. They run the gamut of genres, but in all the central character is the city itself. A Jewish pensioner lives alone in a Johannesburg apartment, the last resident of an ever-changing city. In a Nairobi of the future, one man searches for the girl of his dreams. Dakar is the backdrop to an intimate conversation between two women. Abidjan once played host to the American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. In Cairo a musician sees the gap between rich and poor expand. And a final film confronts the perils of the poverty trap.

GIRLS ON FILM returns with eight award-winning short films from around the world. Inspirational short stories made by women, for women, explore female desire, empowerment and the realities of being a woman, a lesbian and a feminist today.

Close as two crossed fingers, twins Didi and Gigi set for fame and fortune as their modelling career takes off. Didi meets love while her sister's career is cut short by an accident. Jealousy, fury and passion leads Gigi to extreme measures

Daily life in the years 2016-2019 in Krymske, a village in Ukraine not far from the front line, after the Minsk agreements were broken. There is no background music in this film, only real sounds: footsteps in the snow, engines, people talking. A life that seems to have come to a standstill.

Every fifteen days, Antoine, five, spends the weekend at his father's house. Time is counted, limited, condensed. For them, two days to do, to do again, to learn, to understand one another and to each other is little ... The father opens his son the initiatory territory of the forest where to kill is not playing. But on the return of the hunt, the father and son are equally disarmed: Antoine refuses to learn to read, and his father knows that this unknown forest of life is even more dangerous if one loses oneself.

A housewife in her fifties discovers her true self when she has to accept her husband's second wife into her home.
