Cycle ‘Àfrica contraataca’

Back

Cinema. A selection of sub-Saharan African works that demonstrate the impact and fascination that film has had among the continent’s population and its creator, beyond its arrival with colonisers a century ago.

Through fiction films and documentaries shot exclusively by African directors from the beginnings of African film at the end of the 60s through to the present day, the cycle Àfrica contraataca demonstrates the rich filmic dialogue that these authors and their audiences have established from Africa, with signature films and Hollywood, Bollywood and Asian films alike, visible in works that revise genres such as the western, the comedy, samurai films and the musical.

Drawing from a rich and singular artistic tradition, the exhibition offers a window for reflecting on the role of film as entertainment, a weapon for political and social critique and an act of creative expression in a continent in constant transformation.
