Der Videoabend präsentiert eine länderübergreifende Auswahl heutiger afrikanischer Videokunst. “Still Fighting Ignorance & Intellectual Perfidy” kontextualisiert afrikanische Videokunst in einem größeren kulturellen Rahmen. Im Zeitalter interkultureller Migration präsentiert [SFIP] auch Afrikanische Videokünstler/innen, die in Afrika, Europa und den USA zu leben. Ein verbindendes Element bildet das Interesse an den Beziehungen zwischen dem Selbst und der Gesellschaft. Die meisten Werke thematisieren Fragen von Alternativen, Identität, Toleranz und sozialen Beziehungen. Die experimentellen Videos konzentrieren sich auf ästhetische und methodische Perspektiven des Kampfes gegen Unwissenheit und geistige Niedertracht in der zeitgenössischen afrikanischen Kunst. Das Projekt erzählt Geschichten Afrikas von Afrikanischen Medienkünstler/innen wie durch die Linse der Beziehung zwischen Tradition und Zeitgenossenschaft.
