It is a melting pot where African and Caribbean Immigrants-whether they arrived in the 19th, 20th or 21st centuries- and their descendants all shared the common ambition for a better life while mainly facing grave difficulties and injustices. The “Black and Blue in Europe” film series, features a selection of films that explore stories of Black people in Europe.

Joins us to (re)discover this diverse selection of films presented in ADIFF over the last few years.
