African Film
African cinema is as diverse as the vast continent itself. The influence of French film is evident in many Maghrebi and sub-Saharan pictures, particularly those of Ousmane Sembene. But the emphasis on ancient myths and modern socio-economic problems give them a distinctly indigenous feel. The majority of African film industries are still relatively young, but even established ones like South Africa's are still capable of surprises like the township opera, U-Carmen e-Khayelitsha.
