      Do films create opportunities, Ms Ezepue?

      Up to now, most of the films made on the continent of Africa have been low-budget filmed entertainment. But now, investors and streaming services are opening up the market in African films to an international audience. The Nigerian film scholar Ezinne Ezepue sees this as a great opportunity. Through her research, she wants to help develop high-quality African stories and more differentiated images of Africa.

      How precisely can supercomputers forecast heavy rainfall, Mr Stevens?

      Using computer simulations, researchers can both predict the climate in the coming decades as well as produce short-term weather forecasts for specific regions. But so far, they are not as precise as they might be. In order to calculate the complex processes in the atmosphere and identify local extreme weather events such as heavy rain at an early stage, enormous computing capacity is required. New supercomputers could provide it. The atmospheric physicist Bjorn Stevens is working on it.
