AFRYKAMERA ONLINE
Luckily the festival was extended until 1 January so then I managed to see the last movie. A number of films, though not the one below, are available again - till 17 January.
BAAMUM NAFI (NAFI'S FATHER)
Recommended. This smalltown family drama soon turns into a political thriller as Islam clashes with radicalism. Colourful traditional attire contrasts with white or black outfits worn by the extremists - quite apt, isn't it? For them, everything is black or white. It's basically the topic known from "Timbuktu" with engaging action and suspense - it plays out like a good thriller.
While this edition of the festival was varied, covering several African regions and topics, the number of dance films stood out - a few documentaries and an excellent dance scene in an actors' one. The mojeekino.pl platform finally worked fairly smoothly - the first festival there without a stutter. As for subtitles, when you could pick English only, they were big on black background, perfectly legible, while when both Polish and English showed at the same time, they were white and yellow and much smaller - impossible to watch from a distance. The sound volume of movie files differed a lot - some were too quiet to watch without subtitles, some were just fine, some were really loud so I needed to turn them down.
