Synopsis
Gubara was proud of the first colour film in African cinema, which attempts to give an African response to the city symphony genre by capturing disparate images of daily life in Khartoum and setting it to music, particularly romantic Arabic songs. —filmfestivalrotterdam
Director
Gadalla Gubara
Master filmmaker Gadalla Gubara is the first filmmaker of East Africa, having made his first film in the late forties with the colonial film unit on 35mm film. However, he is largely unknown and unaccounted for in the history of African film precisely because of the solitary determination of his pursuit as much as the lack of credible cultural support throughout the Eastern sector of Africa. —amakula.com

I'm looking forward to seeing this. I read somewhere that it may be considered the first film shot in Africa.
