A Screaming Man - Mahamat Saleh Haroun
Carrying on where the London African Film Festival left off in 2009, Film Africa 2011 is a new ten-day festival of feature films, documentaries and shorts from across the continent, showing at venues around London this November. Highlights include A Screaming Man (pictured above), which I was lucky enough to see during its extended run at the BFI; another chance to catch Benda Bilili, the documentary about the Congolese rock band; and Shirley Adams, an award-winning South African film about a mother’s courage as she takes care of her recently disabled son. Alongside the films, the festival also includes talks, Q&A sessions, live music and much more.
