The upcoming two screenings of AfricAvenir in Windhoek will focus on the filmmaking country Morocco. We present two excellent First Features from this country.

The films are "The Miscreants" by Mohcine Besri (Winner Best Arab Feature, Cairo International Film Festival 2012) and "Andalusia, My Love" by Mohammed Nadif (Winner Best Director Khouribga African Film Festival, 2012).

The first screening, The Miscreants, will take place on 31 August, @ Goethe Centre, Windhoek, 19h00. Entrance 30,- N$.

Here a short synopsis of The Miscreants:
On the order of their spiritual leader, three young Islamists kidnap a group of actors who are about to go on tour with their latest show. When the kidnappers arrive at the place of detention, they find themselves cut off from their base. Over seven tense days of forced seclusion and interaction, the two groups find that their most closely held convictions and prejudices are challenged.

For the second film, Andalusia, My Love, please visit www.africavenir.org.
A press release regarding this screening will be released in September.

Africiné (Dakar) is Partner of that Monthly Film Series, in Windhoek.
