AFRIKAMERA - Cinéma contemporain d'Afrique est une initiative de l'organisation toucouleur qui entend pallier progressivement la faible représentation des nouvelles créations cinématographiques africaines dans la capitale allemande.

AFRIKAMERA est l'unique plate-forme permanente à Berlin, par excellence, du dialogue entre les cinéastes africains et le public de Berlin d'une part, et comme un lieu d'échange entre réalisateurs, producteurs et distributeurs d'autre part.
