MTF Colours of Africa

Colours of Africa Series

My Africa is rich in culture. Our current lives are a result of what and who we are culturally and the effects of Africa modernization. Some African cultures and practices maybe fading with time. Yet, all these is the core of our identity. The Colours of Africa film series celebrates the love of African cinema. Film aficionados hungry for African stories can indulge in a feast of curated short films in celebration of African cinema. The series features 16 films shot and directed by the MTF Academy’s Class of 2020, available on Showmax.
