Where can I watch old content?

I highly recommend African Film loving Angelenos go to this. Quartier Mozart is great — I haven’t seen Aristotle’s plot… but it’s free and there’s a Q&A with the filmmaker!

There’s a retrospective of Mauritanian filmmaker Med Hondo’s works going on in Los Angeles until 31 March. I saw the restored West Indies and it was great. Sarraounia and Soleil Ô are also going to screen.

In my World Cinema class in college, my professor talked a bit about Hondo but we never watched any of his films because, I think, they were then (the 1990s) pretty hard to come by and because… they’re not for everyone. A fried saw West Indies with me, though, and he loved it.

Anyone’s seen Io Capitaino? Just read a review of it. But very much interested to hear what those who have made the journey to Europe or the US think of the movie and other recent movies (like Atlantiques) about African migrants to Europe and now the US.

Does anyone know where can I watch this film with English subtitles or has an srt file in English for this film? I've seen that it is on youtube but it is in French and there are no subtitles.

Hi all! I'm hoping this subreddit is active enough that someone here might be able to help me. I've been looking for a film I saw about 15 years ago that I was sure was called "Bintu's Big Idea" but my Google searches are coming up empty.

I believe the film takes place in Guinea, in a large village or small town, and throughout the film, topics of gender roles in society and education are explored. It's relatively light-hearted, and the climax of the plot centers around a young girl who comes up with the idea to adopt a child from Europe so that they can grow up in community and learn how to teach other white people how to belong to others and to the earth.

I caught it quite randomly when I was staying in a hotel that had the Sundance Channel.

If this rings a bell for anyone, please let me know either the correct name or any details you can remember that I can add to my searches! ❤️

I am otherwise grateful to have found this subreddit and looking forward to checking out the recommended films here. Have a great day!

Just checking to see if anyone has experience with this vendor (link below) and whether they are legit. Also, if you've got any recommendations for places to get African cinema on physical media (dvd or bluray), I'd really appreciate it.

I am from Turkey. I am a doctoral student of Journalism of Istanbul University. I am writing my thesis this semester. My thesis is about African freelancers. I am especially focused on Angola, Nigeria and South Africa. The title of my thesis is: Reproduction of Inequality in Digital Capitalism in the Context of Digital Labor: The Example of Africa. I want to speak with freelancers to get knowledge about the work process and experiences. I prepared questions for this. And my university approved the questions be ethically right. So if you want, I want to talk with you. And if you accept, I can send you the questions and consent form. It takes maximum one hour to answer the questions. And I am okay that you can write the document that I can send you. The consent form involves more details. Have a good day.

Hi everyone,

In an attempt to revive and re-engage with the community, it's been suggested we try a regular series of film viewings and discussion. This is a bit of an experiment, so let's see how it goes.

From Friday April 1st, at 12PM GMT (London Time), we'll try simultaneously watched the chosen film, and discussion will be open for exactly 14 days. For reference, that time will be: 4am in Los Angeles // 7am in New York // 1pm in Johannesburg, Cairo and Paris // 3pm in Dubai // 7pm in Perth and Beijing // 8pm in Tokyo and Seoul // 10pm in Sydney

Our inaugural film will be, arguably, the first true African feature film - Ousmane Sembène's BLACK GIRL (LA NOIRE DE…) [Senegal] from 1966. It's a brilliantly-made film, and only 59 minutes, so a quick watch. Here's a short synopis:

Eager to find a better life abroad, a Senegalese woman becomes a mere governess to a family in southern France, suffering from discrimination and marginalization.

I have found an HQ version on YouTube with English subs (apologies to those interested but not fluent in either French or English, I'd welcome any suggestions for the best way to open his up to those who speak other languages) that should be available globally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPcUIaNbeLA

Please give us your thoughts below after watching it. I was thinking of doing a second post for any suggestions of what we could watch for week 2.

If anyone has experience with reddit film clubs and can offer help or suggestions to improve this, get in touch!
