Year-Round
The festival doesn’t end in September.
Watch Africa runs a year-round monthly screenings programme, bringing African cinema to Cardiff audiences between festival editions — at Chapter Arts Centre, Grange Pavilion, and partner venues across the city.
What To Expect
One film. One evening.
A room full of people who came to watch, talk, and stay a while after the credits roll.
Past screenings have included Soft Love (2025 Best Feature winner), Khartoum, and Who Do I Belong To? — alongside curated shorts programmes spotlighting filmmakers from across the continent and diaspora.
Next on the Cardiff calendar.
