They are screening 3 recent releases that highlight the fresh and poetic work of directors from the region. Students of Amharic in London can learn a lot by listening to the Amharic language.

The screenings for Lamb (see blog post below) and Red Leaves will be followed by Q&As with the directors, Yared Zeleke and Bazi Gete, and you can enjoy a hearty serving of Ethiopian food while watching Price of Love!
