Discuss the challenges and opportunities to invest. Next we go to uganda where musician rachel lam is an outspoken advocate of girls rights. And last but not least as a studio single who wants to be with illusionist mozambiques capital. Fest lets go to nigeria youve all had about rights movies from nigeria theyre really challenging some of the more established Film Industries well like hollywood especially when it comes to numbers each week the west african film scene with these is about 50 new movies which is in lots more on the outward from the us now if that would talk honestly about next reports out there wait there would even be more coming out of nigeria but not just your regular kind of movies. Oh how many example right so for a little touch anything except a scale be drawn studios and us shot animation film is the tale of us 3 tribes in lagos trying to lead the nigerian dream from the studio. And hes cofounder of want to create unique stories that reflect african reality. Have. Become explore and sell to the wall i think what it would do thats. The next generations of dimension nation of. People in the bloodstock some of the sites its more than themselves. The short film has been screened at Film Festivals around the world the next step to turn it into a feature film but for that and his team need more money metres and more cash the problem is there arent many animators in nigeria and how can a Small Business like studios attract investors. I think people need a brand period. Problems tested with the market market see black. Market with regards without seeing the series. Or any type of production. One man that knows the nigerian feel market very well is movie director and yet. His movie Wedding Party too is the highest grossing nigerian feel of all time and he is now expanding to animation films he has a team of 10 animators working on various projects he recently released the trailer of his short animation film. I will. The film is based on the nigerian female legend queen amina you see my like i was fully funded through donations on crowdfunding site kickstarter needy explains why animated films country gets to raise in africa not to the next level but. I think weve gotten to the point right away feels like youve seen it all it feels i was telling the same kind of stories and i think thats why people get excited when this all my life because you know that ive never seen anything like that before. With the right investments and top talent nigerian animations have the potential to even group you know. Its amazing what technology can do especially in the street debates its also about still each year in germany the largest african Film Festival to experience in the city of cologne and our very own once you go our out when that meets filmmakers from all over the continent to discuss the future of the african Film Industry let me have it and action. Hello there and welcome to yet another edition of the street debate but this time its going to be special because its an 18 minute discussion with key players in the Film Industry from across the continent we are the 17th edition of the africa Film Festival in germany but the 1st question ease how important these festivals and i address it to you in my book they make it accessible otherwise they wouldnt have been accessible i mean hes like many other filmmakers who create Work Experience like and directors but the works never get to see the light of the day be seen by ordinary people you know so im very happy that there is a festival that you can bring. The works to the people that want to come to you jacqueline you have International Experience curating festivals from the u. K. You have walked in 1000000000 also curating what are the lessons that you you think that you would draw from your experience working also in the black star Film Festival and in the International Festivals what are the lessons that youve learned. Well. Its interesting weve seen more and more films being produced on the continent and that being widely disseminated in fact various festivals around the world and i think the opportunity now we have is through international Film Festivals that films dont less affluent and films dont necessarily only have to be seen within the african Film Festival but also international Film Festivals that they can be and then the white hat programming with american and european films and i think thats a huge achievement and thats where we want to go actually. Open question who benefits the most from the festivals is that the directors it the actors in the producers who wants to give it a show its. All the people you mention and the audience those who wouldnt find like a niche content when its nice you know a variety of content and when box office isnt the main main what you call it priority everyone and i mean when i go to festival ass and its heaven its always the experience for you know i love it when i watch films from from morning to you and youre in the bedroom so i sleep so i can. What have some of the common a few. In the films that youve watched how yes that was pretty common in the know you would films of particular you had to in family dramas remind stories around room. Somewhere else to pick narratives way that were set in rural areas or in a historical period you had a lot of jews but now i think the stories of diversifying pretty much a lot of Different Things are happening now from regular things away from love yes i would love to talk lovely to travel that happens but i think they realize the key maybe we shouldnt just make room on story. And comedy is actually comedy so you also have these people doing stuff from the mainstream who just do skits that are put on instagram that are put on you tube which also has its own following by itself so i would say the huge platform now for people to do 2 experiments doing really alternative stuff i mean theres to the funding issue but its also a story of how much you can do with what you have where do you get the money this is a question that i want to ask i mean you took 3 weeks to produce this film that is showing here where can still make us get money 1st of all people can have can have a collective and make films and whatever they have the chip in and create films i come from that that space and also of course you have. Funds for my country dont have funds so rely on the funds from where they. Where theres a corporate actions where the complex between french german or looks and bork whatever Different Countries might take over to. Tending to in the way because you know collaboration is your financial source i would say you know that im a journalist but im doing independent filmmaker so when i see collaboration its not only collaboration but i have to say from my. From my salary have to keep it have to cut my Different Things to produce film in a low budget do you work with what you have and i also think that and i think this is also interesting for europe because the field Funding Landscape is changing everywhere right and depending on the political dispensation of countries more films its difficult to fund films everywhere in the world and more and more people are trusting it like informal sources and independent ways of working and that for me also makes for stories that are much much more interesting because im saying that europe has run out of stories i dont think interesting stories dont come from europe anymore when its from that established see in the in independent cinema and especially when you see like. First 2nd and 3rd generations of european making films i mean that makes me super excited and then im thinking european cinema isnt i but but without glorifying lack of resources i think theres some Amazing Things that come up from that you have acted as an actress in a documentary did you contribution in this collaboration and how was what was your contribution like was it just in acting for free or actually even paying to act it was acting for free but for me i had a whole experience which for me was more and then whatever money they could pay me i had the chance to travel africa. Get to know my roots to get to know brothers and sisters over there i think it is easier in maybe europe or america to start a film and to look for funds while in africa that is not the case but now it platforms as you tube they can reach out they can just like let their imagination go loose and make a movie of how they think africa should be so i do think there is a future there is really a future in african foam but. We shouldnt sit down and think like ok we dont have the funds or were not going to do anything lets use what we have and put it out there we are not waiting for people to help us lets help ourselves and show them what we can do before we get helped thank you so much for your name for. Those of and to serve in discussion this time it was a very special one because we had a very intimate discussion with stakeholders in the Film Industry from across Different Countries in africa. Maybe i should have this unique area as an actor or director. I wouldnt be able to present this show to you guys so its all good thanks once you go in cologne for bringing us back if you want to learn more about african film go check out the whole debate you tube channel. Now african movies are booming not just in nigeria but also in uganda which has its own Film Industry that what quaaludes studio which is a daughter of its found out she channels creativity through music many people in uganda see her as a role model for young people rachael ams music champions the rights of girls hello. Im rachael. Welcome to. This is my home. This is where i live. Im just. Im 13 but i started singing when i was. I want to use my music the promotes the culture for that we can uplift. Both men and not just. When i see young girls and boys. I see doctor business women i met. Think me this is africa i was just about 23. Where all the people i gave it were opportunities to reach their full potential. For. Some goals of the night just to go to school because their parents think that go should not be educated unlike the boys some parents are still hold up by a culture they think thats well off men will come and take the girls and thats not the case girl should be given equal chances and opportunities to be educated like the boys so thats the kind get jobs like doctor as long as engineers and if goes to the elite trust in their voice will be reduced. In terms of lawyers again rock as much as possible to promote the womens rights in the society if the girl is given a chance to be a doctor as much as possible just to have the life of a mother and a child and that we would use them would tell you to reduce. By 2050 africa will be developed when a girl is given rights and chances like the boys. You know for us its not saving the discussion girls shilled definitely have the same rights and chances as boys now theres one remarkable lady from kenya who is a pioneer not only in the i.

Young creatives to explore their ideas again he speaks to me because of its mix of african and portuguese influences and its nicknamed leaky have the city known previously as lawrence of max was the center of portuguese route 974 the later evolutionary shell decided hed seen enough and forced the europeans to leave. Today many structures are still vivid reminders of the colonial times like this one the press are detours a bullfighting arena that has actually not seen many goals in recent times. Yet no one would come in real source voluntary or meant that it is so beautiful to see how people exercising their freedom and adopting these spaces according to their needs so here for example theres no football field named by instead of being a death space we can come here and watch a football match in this space. I think this is the way these spaces should be transformed from a come from the victims of the opera sport.
