CREOLE COUSINS - A portrait of Lindigo in Brazil: Upon a first tour of Lindigo group in the North of Brazil, this movie documents the encounter of the black identity from La Reunion with the African rooted culture in Brazil. Despite geographical distance, the inheritance of slavery and African ancestors stay a common history. A revelation for Lindigo, finding strong connections to their ancestors so far away from their origins, a revelation for the Brazilians (re)discovering their own musical roots through music instruments.
18:30h PUNK IN AFRICA (R: Keith Jones, Deon Mass, 82 min, South Africa 2011)
Punk in Africa traces this until-now untold story from its roots in the underground rock music of early 1970s Johannesburg, the first multiracial punk bands formed in the wake of the Soweto Uprising and the militant anti-apartheid hardcore and post-punk bands of the 1980s to the rise of celebratory African-inspired ska bands which sprang up from Cape Town to Maputo in the democratic era of the 1990s. Today, an emerging generation of bands continue to draw on this legacy to confront the political challenges of contemporary Zimbabwe and the uncertain identity issues of the Afrikaans minority in South Africa.

20:30h FROM B-BOYS TO BEING MEN (R: Tanswell Jansen, 37 min, South Africa 2011) gemeinsam mit: BOUNCING CATS (R: Nabil Elderkin, 75 min, Uganda 2010)
FROM B-BOYS TO BEING MEN: Breakdancing seems an unlikely tool to effect social change and empower communities. But, as this raw film shows, passion, tenacity combined with a cool tool to reach the kids, makes for individual miracles.
BOUNCING CATS: The dream was to create a workshop teaching kids about b-boy culture, break-dancing and Hip Hop in Northern Uganda, considered one of the most dangerous places to be a child. This film follows one man's attempt to create a better life for the children of Uganda using the unlikely tool of hip-hop culture with the focus on break-dancing. In 2006, Abrahmz Tekya, an aids orphan, created Break-dance Project Uganda, teaches three times a week to more than 300 children from all parts of the city Kampala.
