L'Afrobrix Film Festival 2025 continua a celebrare il cinema, il teatro e l'arte, promuovendo l'afrodiscendenza con un'attenzione particolare al contesto europeo. Le persone afroeuropee, sia della diaspora che native europee (seconda, terza generazione e oltre), hanno questioni, tematiche e proposte da presentare al pubblico e da sottoporre a riflessione sociale, politica ed economica.

L'Afrobrix Film Festival comprende una sezione dedicata a lungometraggi afroeuropei o africani e un concorso per cortometraggi, che saranno valutati dal pubblico e da giurie per altri premi speciali.

La quarta edizione dell'Afrobrix Film Festival si terrà dal 14 al 16 novembre 2025 e sarà arricchita da conferenze, performance artistiche ed esposizioni.

Il festival selezionerà cortometraggi che raccontano storie afrodiscendenti europee e che esplorano l'appartenenza identitaria, sia collettiva che individuale, nelle sue molteplici forme. Il concorso è aperto a autori e autrici residenti in Europa con legami al continente africano. Sono inoltre accettate opere che affrontano il tema delle migrazioni forzate dall'Africa verso l'Europa, con un'attenzione particolare all'auto-narrazione e alla raccolta di testimonianze di persone che hanno vissuto la migrazione in prima persona.

The Afrobrix Film Festival 2025 continues to celebrate cinema, theater, and art, promoting Afro-descendance with a particular focus on the European context. Afro-European people, whether from the diaspora or native Europeans (second, third generation, or beyond), have issues, themes, and proposals to present to the public and for social, political, and economic reflection.

The Afrobrix Film Festival includes a section dedicated to Afro-European or African feature films and a short film competition, which will be judged by the audience and juries for other special awards.

The fourth edition of the Afrobrix Film Festival will take place from November 14 to 16, 2024, and will feature talks, artistic performances, and exhibitions.

    Our short film was selected for Afrobrix and I was also invited to attend the festival. It was a very nice experience! Hospitality was top notch. The team was helpful and attentive and it was very nice to network with the other filmmakers at the joint dinners and events. The screening was in a beautiful cinema with a good size audience with a interesting Q&A. Brescia and the Bergamo are very nice places to visit between the festival events. Thank you Fabrizio and the Afrobrix team!
