Afrika Eye 2023

Season

Please note : this season finished in Nov 2023

It's been 17 years since the first Afrika Eye - the festival continues to bring a rich and eclectic programme of films from and about Africa and the diaspora, to Bristol audiences. Films that dig deep into political issues, transcend the mundane, highlight the creative spirit and touch hearts and minds.

With an overwhelming choice of films from across the continent (from Mozambique, Nigeria, The Sahal, South Africa, Burkina Faso, Zambia and DRC) to venues across the city (in addition to the programme at Watershed you can catch events at the Cube, Trinity Centre and Design West), we hope you will find something new and surprising to engage with at Afrika Eye 2023.

Take 15% off when you book tickets for three films as part of Afrika Eye at Watershed.
