The new dates for this year’s Cambridge African Film Festival have just been announced: it’ll run from 8 to 29 November over four consecutive weekends. Opening the Festival on 8 November will be the UK premiere of The Twelve Disciples of Nelson Mandela, presented by director Thomas Allen Harris.

The closing weekend on 28 and 29 November will include a season dedicated to Algerian filmmaker Jean-Pierre Lledo, whose documentary Algeria, Unspoken Stories sparked lively debate at the 28th Cambridge Film Festival when it premiered here in September. Lledo will return to Cambridge to present the film, this time alongside his earlier work. Finally, Black Business, introduced by director Osvalde Lewat, will complete the Festival’s unique line-up of films from Africa and the diaspora.

The full Festival dates are as follows: Saturday 8, Sunday 9, Friday 14, Saturday 15, Sunday 16, Friday 21, Saturday 22, Sunday 23, Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 November.
