Africa's Lost Classics

ALC Black 42017 is a special year for the consortium of the five African Film Festivals in the UK, TANO (‘five’ in Swahili), as we collectively revisit the history of African cinema. With this project we bring (back) to UK screens some of the greatest African films ever. Old and lost films have been rediscovered, and we have enabled the restoration of three African women’s films. The programme includes films and events that take place during AiM in Scotland and around the UK at the other African film festivals, during Oct and Nov 2017. An Exhibition entitled African Film: Looking Back Through the Lens, a Symposium on Curating the Global Film Archive takes place in Scotland and a Workshop and Teaching Resources add to the film experiences.
