Cinema of the Central African Republic information


The Central African Republic is one of the world's poorest countries and the film industry is correspondingly small. The first film made in CAR appears to have been Les enfants de la danse, a short French-made ethnographic documentary of 1945. Joseph Akouissone was the first Central African to make a film in the country, with his 1981 documentary Un homme est un homme;[1] he was followed by the documentaries made in the 1980s by Léonie Yangba Zowe.[2][3] Since then a series of ongoing conflicts and economic crises have severely limited the potential growth of film-making in the country. The first feature-length drama made in the country was Le silence de la forêt, a 2003 CAR-Gabon-Cameroon co-production about the Biaka people.[4][5][6]

More recently, director and producer Elvis Sabin Ngaibino has feature documentaries Makongo and Le Fardeau (The Burden) screened at international film festivals.
