Cinema as Foreign Exchange
This documentary shows how cinema has been used very differently in three neighbouring African countries with different colonial heritages: Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Madagascar. Mozambique used cinema newsreels as a crucial propaganda tool after the Portugese colonisers left. Madagascar boycotted US movies, so its screens were dominated by French, Indian and Hong Kong films instead. But a few films managed to get made. The situation in Zimbabwe was the worst, except that alone of the three countries it possessed an efficient film laboratory.
The House of Hunger
Based on the prize-winning novel by Dambudzo Marechera, on growing up black in white Rhodesia, and the exiled writer's return to the newly liberated Zimbabwe.
