The French resort town of Annecy is known for its beautiful lake but in recent years, it has also carved out a name for itself as a centre for excellence in animated features. The annual festival showcases projects from all over the world and at all stages of development. We take a look at the African animators making a name for themselves at this year’s event.
Meanwhile in Germany, the Berlinale film festival returns for the second part of this year's staggered proceedings, as moviegoers now get to see the features in selection on outdoor screens.
And we meet an artist who has captured the darker chapters of his life in pen and ink. Now living in Paris, Najah Albukai has revisited his time in prison in Syria during the early years of the country’s recent civil conflict, producing a series of paintings and prints.
