Afro Visionary Movie Nights presents: Still My Child


In celebration of queer voices and stories, Afro Visionary Movie Nights proudly presents a special screening of Still My Child, a powerful new documentary by acclaimed journalist and filmmaker Carl Collison. This month's curation honours the resilience, dignity and lived experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community, creating space for empathy, dialogue and understanding through African storytelling.


For many parents of transgender children, coming to terms with their child's gender identity can be a challenging journey—particularly for fathers. Still My Child follows three South African fathers as they candidly share their experiences of confronting societal expectations, navigating family and community prejudice, and ultimately embracing their children with unconditional love. Their stories offer a moving reflection on family, identity and the transformative power of acceptance.

Following the screening, stay for Afro Visionary's signature afterparty as Ms Party takes over the decks, bringing the evening to a celebratory close.

"This was an incredible event! The film & Q&A were very moving. I really appreciated the inclusion of captions on the film. It was my first time going to the Afrikan Freedom Station--the space was perfect. The free juice was delicious & I was grateful for the bonfire because it was definitely cold. It would've been nice to have heaters in the film viewing area. "

"Well organised. We thought it was an outside venue under the stars yet again, and it was indoors with good seating! Which meant we could have left our many many layers of clothing at home. The movies screened were completely well chosen. Different themes beautiful films. Wonderful experience altogether. Well organised"
