Women of all ages and backgrounds drive the narratives of these short films, whether in Senegal, Sudan, South Africa, or London. In Hlumela Matika’s Tab, a young South African girl comes into conflict with her gambling father, while a teenager in Sudan realizes her parents have arranged her marriage in Suzannah Mirghani’s Al-Sit. In Tomisin Adepeju’s Appreciation, an African Pentecostal pastor in London undergoes a life-changing event. Manu Luksch’s Algo-Rhythm investigates data analytics and manipulation through the musicians and poets of Senegal, while in the documentary Ruthan, an Arabi-Juba word meaning “language,” filmmaker Abul Ajak showcases her grandmothers’ stories to reflect on migration and culture.
