KIFIFE
The KID’S FILM FESTIVAL is a festival of discovery that aims to introduce African youth to the visual art of cinema. For one, we offer a selection of films, documentaries, fiction, short films and animations in which the protagonists and directors are children and teenagers. Above all, the films aim to show the everyday reality of African children and teenagers.

"Long Distance Call - Das Operndorf Afrika im Kunstpalais"
More than ten years ago, Christoph Schlingensief laid the foundation stone for the Opera Village Africa. Since then, the art project has developed beyond Burkina Faso and the African continent to become an internationally renowned cultural institution and was expanded in 2015 to include an artist-in-residence programme. Long Distance Call - Operndorf Afrika at the Kunstpalais offers the four artists in residence in Germany in 2020 another opportunity to come together, which includes a two-week exhibition and a diverse programme of events.
