Beneath The Tides is a collection of five short films that explore critical themes present in families and institutions across postcolonial and postmodern African society. These films represent the rare wisdom and compassion of East Africa’s most talented filmmakers.

The main characters within the anthology courageously upend the status quo or come to terms with new realities with an air of resolute strength.

These films have received international acclaim, having premiered at prestigious festivals such as the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in Canada, the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) in the Netherlands, Festival International du Film Panafricain (FIFP) in France, FESPACO in Burkina Faso, and the Zanzibar International Film Festival (ZIFF) in Tanzania.

Beneath the Tides is a collection of short films by LBX Africa. This one-off screening is presented by Maona Art and Oxford Brookes University and features a Q&A with actress Pauline Kyalo from the film Inheritance.
