Afric Hotel (VdR 2011) focuses on migrants from Sub- Saharan Africa transiting through Algiers. One of them is a lift operator—always with a book in his hand—, another is a shoe- maker and the last works in construction. Hassen Ferhani and Nabil Djedouani’s camera follows these protagonists who are all too often ignored as they interact with the people of Algiers.
When her uncle dies, director Chloé Acha Boro films her family’s courtyard in Dédougou, Burkina Faso. Framed by her camera, the shared space becomes the stage of the inheritance dispute that unfolds. A conflict between the gatekeepers of family tradition and those defending property interests, advocating for a modernity inherited from Western colonisation.

Executive Producer Fernando Meirelles (Academy Award-Nominated Director of "City of God") and Malian musician Inna Modja take us on an epic journey along Africa's Great Green Wall - an ambitious vision to grow an 8,000km wall of trees stretching across the entire continent to fight back against runaway climate change, increasing conflict and mass migration.
The thrumming mean streets of Mali’s capital, Bamako, are the setting for writer/director Coulibaly’s gritty drama. A palpable urgency accompanies his take on the transformation of a lowly bus driver into a successful drug dealer headed for a fall… “Like a Malian riff on Brian De Palma's Scarface.” Variety
这部电影探讨的是对于那些仍然在奋斗着争取进入二十世纪的人们，二十一世纪究竟意义何在。
在二十一世纪的前夜，旅法的非洲导演Sissako回到马里的小村庄Sokolo，去看望他的父亲。在那里他碰到了Nana，这个年轻女孩也是来村里探亲的。于是思索就展开了，对于非洲和欧洲之间那从未平息的纠葛。
Sissako和父亲用收音机收听巴黎的千禧年庆祝活动，在村子里这可能是现代社会的唯一痕迹了。他努力地通过小得可怜的邮局和法国联系，发现当地居民的日常生活没有多大改变。在全世界欢庆2000年到来时，他们每个人都继续保持自己的步伐缓慢前行，新千年的开始对他们毫无意义。
古老广袤的非洲大陆，千百年流传着一个极其残酷的习俗，这里的女孩长到一定年龄时就要接受割礼。所谓割礼，即割除女性部分或者全部的阴核以及小阴唇，再用一般针线或者荆棘缝合。全程没有任何麻醉和消毒措施，受礼者痛苦至极，且要承受着破伤风感染、艾滋病传染甚至丧命的危险。
克里（Fatoumata Coulibaly 饰）是一位聪明贤良的女性，她对年轻时接受割礼的痛苦经历记忆犹新，而且在接下来的几十年里，她无时无刻不在承受着伤口为精神和肉体带来的双重折磨。克里不愿女儿再承受这般磨难，于是不顾一切阻止女儿接受割礼。她的举动遭到村里人的质疑和职责，来自周遭的压力越来越大……
本片荣获2004年戛纳电影节天主教人道精神奖的特别提名奖和一种关注奖、2005年马尼拉国际电影节最佳女主角（Fatoumata Coulibaly）。
