Director: Ike Nnaebue

Keepa

Two sister's find themselves in an unfortunate situation. It becomes extremely hard for them to provide for themselves, however, their only hope is their generous cook who agrees to put a roof over their heads.

No U-Turn

As a young man, director Ike Nnaebue left Nigeria intending to take the route via Benin, Mali, and Mauritania to Morocco - but he was forced to turn back earlier, and never made it to Europe. In his first documentary, No U-Turn, he retraces the life-changing journey he made over 20 years ago. Along the way, he meets those who are taking the same trip and, through conversations with them, tries to understand what motivates young people today to expose themselves to the dangers of a passage into an uncertain future. Most are aware of the dangers of traveling undocumented by road, yet more and more are joining the ranks of those who take this risk. Overlaid with a powerful poetic commentary and insight into the long-reaching impact of a colonial past, this self-reflective travelogue unpacks the deep longing of an entire generation in search of opportunities.

A Long Night

It’s a bright day in the city, and three sisters are up to the usual gossip and sibling rivalry until a knock on the door changes their fate for the next 24 hours.
