This past month has been a powerful one for our films as they continue to reach new audiences across the continent.

Matabeleland (Directed by Nyasha Kadandara) made two major stops. On 23 September, it screened in Maputo, Mozambique at the Centro Cultural Franco-Moçambicano as part of Invisible Scars: Cinema, History and Healing. The evening included a post-screening conversation with Nyasha, moderated by Inês Dias.

Matabeleland also had its long-awaited Zimbabwe Premiere at Theatre in the Park, Harare Gardens. From 20–28 September, audiences gathered daily for screenings of this homecoming moment, a milestone for the film and its journey.

And now for the big news: this November, Matabeleland heads to Amsterdam for its Dutch premiere at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA 2025). Selected for the Best of Fests section, the film will join one of the world’s leading documentary stages!

Meanwhile, Baba (Directed by Mbithi Masya, Produced by Bramwel Iro) screened in Nairobi as part of Boma Film Nights – Men’s Mental Health Edition at Beer District, Westlands. Paired with Angela Wamai’s feature Shimoni, the evening blended film, music, games, and conversation in true Boma style, an energetic cultural gathering where cinema sparked wider reflection.

These screenings remind us that films don’t just live in festivals or cinemas, they travel, they return home, and they spark dialogue in community spaces.
