This evening's viewing: Zero, a Senagalese film by Jean Luc Herbulot. Caught his previous African film, Saloum, at the #Edinburgh Film Festival a couple of years ago, so interested to watch this.

Review will follow on @PhilEdwards 's Live For Films in due course

I just shared a film to my ko-fi page. Cursed Widow Blues. A short horror about a dead man who won't let his wife love another man.

We just watched the first film at #MastodonMovieClub and this was the beautiful The Burial Of Kojo, and enchanting and visually exciting masterpiece set in Ghana, by the Ghanaian filmmaker Blitz. I look forward to seeing more from this director, especially the new film he is doing, a musical version of The Color Purple.

yes, the #WorldCinema fund has a specific definition - but the term is still used as opposed to the mainstream (english) #film industry

however, you are also right, that the term #InternationalFilm makes often more sense - or even the more narrow groupings #EuropeanFilm (I gave a seminar about this topic in NY 20 years ago) and also #AsianCinema or #AfricanFilm

@RickiTarr

there is a variety of wonderful #films from #Africa - many slow paced, but very original & strong, including:

“Guelwaar” by the grand master Ousmane Sembene (actually, all of his movies are good)

“Hyènes” by Djibril Diop Mambéty

& definitely #Kirikou by Michel Ocelot

@nadinmai @film @art_film … love #WorldCinema, e.g. some #AfricanFilm classics from #Sembène or #Mambéty; #EuropeanFilm (e.g.: #Almodovar, #Truffaut …) so, yes : 🙋🏻‍♂️
