Raising Stars
2020 26 MinsMeroestream is about Africa rising. Rising from the beneath the knees of western or western-centric platforms, and building a place of our own for our own stories, without Gate Keepers.
Meroe was the capital of ancient Nubia and the Kush nation: A people who equalled and bettered many of the world’s civilisations of their time. It is fitting therefore that our name should invoke the majesty of an ancient people of colour.
We are calling to Africans and people of African descent from all over the world to be part of a platform that is built for African content and with a mission to strengthen the voice of African film makers.
We also invite allies; friendly non-African supporters of African arts/culture to come along on the journey.
