« Adventures in Speculative Fiction »
In this seventh edition of the
AIITF festival, we will be interested in narratives that speculate on the future in different forms: with the screening of an Afro-futurist science-fiction musical film (Neptune Frost), through a performance that resists the logic of racialised representation, mixing video (Black Narratives Composing Alternatives), poetry and music, and with a moment of exchange on the imposition of a single dominant narrative and on the ways out (What forms of narratives for hacking the imaginary? and From World Music to Hybrid Music). This seventh edition will close with an immersion in the hybrid music of the English label On The Corner Records (Party).
Africa Is/In The Future ?
Created in 2016 at the initiative of
Cinema Nova and
PointCulture,
AIITF is an interdisciplinary festival on African and diasporic contemporaneities. Meetings, concerts, screenings, dj sets, exhibitions and performances, the festival invites to change perspectives, and to imagine other possible futures from alternative experiences and narratives.
The 7th edition of the festival will open a new page in its history: from 2023 onwards it will be La Bellone that will carry the project, surrounded by other partners and with new dynamics and energies.
