The Kinshasa International Film Festival opened its 13th edition with a programme of about 50 feature-length, medium-length and short films from roughly 10 countries, Africanews reported.
The five-day event combined screenings with workshops, master classes and discussions, aiming to create opportunities for filmmakers and audiences to meet.
Among the titles was 'Simon and Amos', a feature by young Congolese director Riphin Kalala, inspired by the story of Joseph and exploring slavery, forgiveness and coexistence. Kalala told Africanews she was moved by the audience's response.
FICKIN's organisers say the festival is intended to help Africans watch African films and tell their own stories.
