CAFF presented yesterday a gripping action movie and coming of age story from the Cape. As the director himself highlighted, this a story that South Africans want to tell, which refer to contemporary South Africa, where race is not the only topic to focus on. “They are the forgotten community”.
Four Corners is a rare insight into the world of South Africa’s prison gang culture. The screening was followed by a Q&A with director Ian Gabriel &Dr Christopher Warnes (St John’s College & Faculty of English).
This event has been organised as part of the ‘South Africa a 20: The Freedom Tour’. Cambridge African Film Festival, in collaboration with the four other African film festivals in the UK - Film Africa in London, Afrika Eye in Bristol, Watch-Africa in Wales, and Africa in Motion in Scotland - are organising a UK-wide tour to take the best of South African cinema to locations across the UK from Oct 2014 to Feb 2015, in celebration of 20 years of democracy and freedom. The tour is supported by the British Film Institute’s Programming Development Fund, awarding funds from The National Lottery. The tour is organised as part of the South African Season in the United Kingdom 2014 & 2015. The SA-UK Seasons is a partnership between the Department of Arts and Culture, South Africa, and the British Council.
CAFF continues on Thursday 6 November with Two screenings: British-Nigerian Comedy Gone Too Far!, Followed By Q&A With Film Director Destiny Ekaragha, and Senegalese documentary Market Imaginary, followed by Q&A with Dr Tatiana Thieme (University of Cambridge)
The talent of African Women Filmmakers Gone Too Far! + Q&A, Thursday 6 Nov, 6.30pm, Arts Picturehouse 
Since its earliest days, the Cambridge African Film Festival (CAFF) has sought to highlight the work and talent of African women directors. In 2014, CAFF features British-Nigerian comedy Gone Too Far, followed by a Q&A with its first-time director, Destiny Ekaragha.
Gone Too Far! is a sparky fresh comedy based on the Olivier Award-winning stage play by Bola Agbaje, and directed by debut Bristish-Nigerian director Destiny Ekaragha. The film follows two estranged teenage brothers, Yemi, raised in London, and Ikudayisi, played by multi-award winning actor O.C. Ukeje, raised in Lagos. Over the course of a single day in the London district of Peckham, the brothers, who are meeting for the first time, struggle to accept each other for who they are. With great doses of humour, the film tackles black identity and post-national issues, where boundaries between what it means to be British and Nigerian seem as blurred as they are subjective.
We are delighted to welcome director Destiny Ekaragha and Sierra Leonean Cambridge University alumni of Social and Political Science, Mamusu Kallon, for a Q&A following the screening, chaired by Dr Julie MacArthur, member of the Advisory Board.
Market Imaginary + Q&A with Dr Tatiana Thieme, 8.45pm-10.15pm, Winstanley Lecture Theatre (Trinity College Cambridge)
Free screening 
Director Joanna Grabski, professor of history of art and visual cultures at the University of Denison (with a long experience working in Senegal) decided to showcase Senegalese society through filming the legendary Colobane market, whose rich fabric of sights and interactions invite reflection on some of the more interesting aspects of Senegalese life. Inspired by the proverb: Lepp looy wut rekk am na marché Colobane’, “Everything worth finding can be found at the Colobane market” she seeks to give a voice to the market’s artisans and vendors to encourage them to reflect on the importance of the place they find themselves in. Market Imaginary will be shown on the 6th of November at 8.45pm at the Winstanley Lecture theatre in Trinity College (University of Cambridge). It will be followed by a Q&A session with Dr Tatiana Thieme- a professor in the Geography department at the University of Cambridge- whose work focuses on urban anthropology, notably in Kenya.
