Description:

Beti Ellerson's compelling first film highlights the significant work of women filmmakers from Africa and the diaspora. It combines interviews with renowned directors like Safi Faye, Sarah Maldoror, Anne Mungai, Fanta Régina Nacro, and Ngozi Onwurah with clips from their important films. Ellerson thoughtfully examines the complex issue of cultural authenticity by revisiting a 1991 FESPACO event where diasporian women were excluded from a meeting meant for African women. The film serves as both a valuable collection and a tribute to both established and emerging voices in African cinema.
