AFRICAN STORIES ON SCREEN: THE RISING DAWN
The fourth and final gathering of our cultural neighbourhood project brings us together at Paavli Kultuurivabrik.
Join us for a relaxed Sunday afternoon of African music, food, culture and community.
From 15:00, a DJ will set the atmosphere with African music while Ify’s Kitchen serves West African food.
At 18:00, we screen the documentary The Rising Dawn.
🎬 THE RISING DAWN
The Rising Dawn takes us to the coast of Côte d’Ivoire and follows Souleymane Sidibé, a pioneer of the country's growing surf culture.
Through his story, the documentary explores young people, community, cultural barriers and their relationship with the ocean, while offering a glimpse into the development of a modern African surf culture in Côte d’Ivoire.
Directors: Nadi Saddy and Nuits Balnéaires
Runtime: approximately 60 minutes
