The film, which explores African aesthetics and challenges misconceptions around African identity, will premiere at the BAFTA-qualifying British Urban Film Festival (BUFF) on October 20 and at the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) in November 2024. Through interviews with over 30 creatives, Coréon Dú’s African Beauty documentary spotlights Africa’s diverse beauty, exploring the triumphs and challenges that come with defining the African aesthetic.
