Films in the festival range from powerful narratives to topical documentaries and include familiar classics and cutting-edge works.
Wednesday screenings are programmed by the African Film Festival and will explore the rich African cultural heritage from dramatic films such as South Africa's, U-Carmen eKhayelitsha, an operatic tour-de-force that will make you forget all previous film versions of Bizet's Carmen.

Included in this year's selection are 2005's Twelve Disciples of Nelson Mandela and 2003's All on a Mardi Gras Day.
