Back in 1991, this fest launched as a humble four-film affair. This year, it’s up to 17 feature-length films (plus six shorts) from across the continent, including South Africa, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, and Tunisia. Opening night is Portland filmmaker Christopher Kirkley’s Tuareg-language tribute to Prince’s Purple Rain.

Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 12:00pm to 9:00pm between February 3 and March 4
