Synopsis
Africa on the Seine
This film is widely regarded as the first film made by an African south of the Sahara. Labelled an “ethnological documentary in reverse,” it shows 1950s Paris from the cinematic perspective of a group of African immigrants. (Mubi)
The Donn of Tiki
Donn Beach spent years embellishing the details of his extraordinary life. This documentary attempts to separate fact from fabrication with the help of the people who knew him, historians, and recently resurfaced audio recordings of Donn himself, as we explore the legacy Donn left behind.
