DIRECTOR: Anatola Araba
LANGUAGE: In English 
RUNNING TIME: 14minutes

SYNOPSIS: This 3D animated short film in the Afrofuturist genre explores the topics of AI and bias.

FEATURE FILM: Little (America, 2019)
DIRECTOR: Tina Gordon
LANGUAGE: In English 
RUNNING TIME: 1hour 49minutes

SYNOPSIS: Jordan is a take-no-prisoners tech mogul who torments her long-suffering assistant, April, and the rest of her employees on a daily basis. She soon faces an unexpected threat to her personal life and career when she magically transforms into a 13-year-old version of herself right before a do-or-die presentation. Jordan will now need to rely on April more than ever — if April is willing to stop treating Jordan like a 13-year-old child who has an attitude problem.
