INXEBA (2017) dir. John Trengove Eastern Cape, South Africa. A lonely factory worker, Xolani, takes time off his job to assist during an annual Xhosa circumcision initiation into manhood. In a remote mountain camp that is off limits to women, young men, painted in white ochre, recuperate as they learn the masculine codes of their culture. In this environment of machismo and aggression, Xolani cares for a defiant initiate from Johannesburg, Kwanda, who quickly learns Xolani’s best kept secret: that he is in love with another man.

Was looking at which African films have been nominated for Oscars. It seems to skew towards films from South Africa and north Africa but not that many projects from subsaharan Africa.

#The nominated South African films have white directors. #Nigeria isn't well represented even though it's one of the biggest film markets and it churns out do many movies.

Nukie (Video, 1987)

The E.T.-esque South African children's film, claimed by websites such as Total Film and Something Awful to be one of the worst ever made. Recently featured on Red Letter Media when they finally watched it and, as an experiment, had a copy professionally graded, destroyed all of their many other copies and put their graded copy up for auction for charity to see how much it'd sell for, now that it'd become more famous and more scarce. You can watch it here, or watch the trailer here.
