Showcasing 13 short animated films made by African filmmakers from the Congo, Egypt, South Africa, Kenya, Senegal and Tanzania, this screening programme marks Africa Day 2010 in Ireland and celebrates African culture and society and the diversity of the continent.

As is true of animation worldwide, animation in Africa does not only exist in the realm of children's entertainment, but also acts as a document of political criticism and social commentary.

Presented in association with Mermaid County Wicklow Arts Centre
