Filmfestival: Africa in the Picture

Over the years, Africa in the Picture has created a loyal audience; one that craves other images of Africa than those we see on the evening news. In the early years the audience consisted mostly of Dutch people, and African people living in the Netherlands. This changed in 1993 when the festival welcomed a selection of films from the African Diaspora. Since then, the Afro-Caribbean audience has also found its way to the festival. In 1995 the festival opened its doors to cinema from North-African countries, and in doing so, to the North-African communities of the Netherlands.
