Getting African Movies Into African Theaters Proves Difficult

非洲电影走进非洲影院十分困难

On a usual Friday night in Ivory Coast, movie lovers will choose between American-made blockbusters and French comedies.

It can be hard to find African-made films at movie theaters in Africa.

A limited number of African movies make it into theaters around the continent. But a new organization is trying to increase the number and inspire young filmmakers.

African Screen Network, known as ASN, opened earlier this year. It is trying to bring African films to African audiences. Steve Markovitz is a South African movie producer who started the network with help from the Goethe Institute, a German cultural organization.

Because of ASN, an award-winning film from South Africa was also available in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. It is called “Necktie Youth.” The film tells the story of young people in a Johannesburg suburb dealing with the suicide of a friend.

Bienvenu, an audience member, said he liked the movie.

“I liked the interracial friendships in it; it’s a good introduction to South Africa,” he said.

Bienvenu grew up in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. He watched mostly French and American movies. There were not many African-made movies available.

“I can count on my fingers the number of Congolese movies I’ve seen. I want us to be open on the world, but I also want the promotion of African cinema. We have a lot of actors, a lot of movies, but little resources, no marketing. They are not known,” Bienvenu said.

Khanyo Mjamba works with ASN. He said it is difficult to make sure African films are available throughout Africa. Money can be a problem. Also, producers do not always know someone who can help them get a movie played in a new city.

Currently ASN offers six movies to theaters around Africa. The films are from Kenya, Sudan, Ivory Coast and South Africa. A theater must pay a fee that is split between ASN and the film’s producers if it wants to show one of the movies.

So far, about 20 theaters in 16 countries are taking advantage of ASN’s offerings. ASN hopes it can reach 30 theaters by the end of the year.

The goal is not only to help movie producers earn more money. ASN also wants to inspire new filmmakers around Africa.

Mjamba said he wants to show movies that make people say: “Hey, I could actually make a movie like this, I could be daring and make a film that has never been done before.”
