Rafiki dir Wanuri Kahiu (83 minutes) Kenya 2018, 15
With beautiful scenes connected through shades of fuchsia and violet, reflecting the femininity of the characters, this gentle film follows the development of love between two young women. Set against the backdrop of the bustling streets of Nairobi, the two very different girls must choose between love and safety surrounded by insular gossip, local politics and burgeoning maturity. Their magnetic pull draws us into a queer Romeo and Juliet romance, as they try to hide their relationship from their politically opposing fathers.
Short film (tbc) - 7.45pm
Film start - 8.10pm
Q&A - 9:32pm
Finish - 10pm
