Africa in Motion (AiM) Film Festival
is a UK limited company (SC290337)
with charitable status in Scotland (SC043215).
AiM Shebeen Screen
The AiM Shebeen Screen will draw inspiration from shebeens in both South Africa and Scotland, to create a pop-up cinema that will tour across Scotland during the festival. We have recreated an African video parlour using a projector, a screen, murals and African fabrics. The Shebeen Screen will travel around venues in Scotland, allowing audiences to fully immerse themselves in African film.
A shebeen has cultural roots in both South Africa and Scotland: in both places it refers to an illegal or informal drinking establishment. In South Africa this is typically an informal drinking place in a township, and in Scotland it is, likewise, an unlicensed pub.
Scotland-based Zimbabwean artist Fadzai Mwakutuya Hamburgh along with Italian artist Ivan Micelli have designed the murals for the Shebeen Screen, recreating scenes from a shebeen in order to transport the audience to an African setting.
The Shebeen Screen tour is supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of BFI's Film Audience Network, and The Touring Network.
The Touring Network exists to see rural touring be a central, celebrated and indispensable part of the cultural life of Scotland. The Network exists to enable remarkable live performances of the highest level, transform people as promoters, performers, audiences and create vibrant places to live, work and visit.
