Kizobazoba – presenting the Cinema Spaces Network. Film festival at the Humboldt Forum Beginning March 2022

From 2 to 7 March 2022, for the duration of our transdisciplinary film festival Kizobazoba – presenting the Cinema Spaces Network, everything at the Humboldt Forum will revolve around the question of what cinema in 2022 can, could, or would like to be – whether in Kinshasa, Khartoum, the Eastern Cape in South Africa, in a pop-up cinema by Lake Elementaita in Kenya, in the cultural metropolis of Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso, or in Berlin. Since the summer of 2020, the Humboldt Forum has been working together with six African cinema initiatives to organise a virtual think-tank entitled the Cinema Spaces Network (CSN). In March 2022, the members of this new network will come together for the first time at the Humboldt Forum, bringing their work, projects, and visions from seven African countries, to present them to a Berlin audience in a series of Cine Lectures and film screenings.
