It’s good to see African films getting this kind of support. I hope I get a chance to see some of these films. It’s a good year for African film already. Kinyarwanda won a top award at Sundance, an Algerian film is up for an Oscar, and the South African Oscar submission White Wedding just came out on dvd. You should check out the trailer, it’s a refreshing take on the roadtrip film: http://www.whiteweddingmovie.com
