  • The experience at the Fickin' International Film Festival Kinshasa in 2023 was simply FANTASTIC! Our film "Africa, Cradle of Humankind and Modern Civilizations" won the award for Best Feature Documentary. The experience was wonderful. I highly recommend this festival to all cinema and cultural exchange enthusiasts.
