Muna Moto (Pipa, 1975): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 5.30pm

This film is screening as part of the Pan-African film season at BFI Southbank. Full details here.

BFI introduction:
DikonguĂ© Pipa’s masterpiece of subversive modernity, a non-linear tale of a love made impossible by social and economic pressures, was Cameroon’s first feature film. Awarded the top prize at FESPACO 1976, its haunting images revealing the devastating consequences of a community’s refusal to deviate from tradition resonated strongly with audiences.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
