LBx Africa presents:

Beneath the Tides (OmeU)

5 Short Films from East Africa

Beneath the Tides

Curated by LBx Africa, ‘Beneath the Tides’ is a powerful anthology of five short films that explore the complexities of family, memory, and reconciliation across East Africa. Each story offers a distinct lens into intergenerational relationships, personal reckonings, and the quiet resilience that binds communities together. Woven into a collective narrative, the anthology invites viewers to reflect on the emotional tides that shape identity and belonging.
