This thread is inspired by the 'Blood Diamond' and 'King of Scotland' threads were a few posters have raised the point that Africans should be involved in making more films for and about themselves if they want to see a less Eurocentric version of themselves on the bigscreen.
Curzon cinemas have a theme in February and March called 'Africa on Screen' where they are showing films made by African directors about various African societies. I will certainly try to go and see a few this month and next month.
One film that I will most definately try to see is 'Bamako' showing from 23rd February. Here is a short synopsis from the Curzon website:
"...In a poor area of Bamako, a court has been set up in the yard of a house. On trial are the World Bank and the IMF, who are facing proceedings brought against them by African civil society for their disastrous policies that have brought most African countries...."
For more details about African films featured at the Curzon cinemas see the link below:
