Gambian Mathematics Film Festival
A celebration of young Gambian curiosity, creativity, and storytelling.
When we asked for films, we weren't looking for perfect proofs or the biggest ideas. We were looking for something rarer: your team's spirit of curiosity that asks "Why?", the joy in creating something together and the courage to share it with others so they can feel it too.
We felt this overpowering spirit as your questions, ideas and mathematics itself came alive in your films.
It was a real joy to witness your curiosity, creativity, and courage as you brought mathematics to life through your creations and stories!
Here are the work of the finalists of the inaugural Gambian Mathematics Film Festival!
