About No-U-Turn-Cinema:
The focus of the cinema evenings is to create a space for the precious often unseen view of these people who are far too often portrayed in a distorted light and distorted by narratives in the Western world. They are also often denied spaces of development and exchange and are often affected by discrimination and structural racism.

It is very important to us to broaden horizons and establish an Alkebu-lan (African) perspective in the film world of our fellow human beings.
