THE GREAT AFRICAN FILMS COLLECTION
GREAT AFRICAN FILMS – VOL 1 : Haramuya & Faraw! Mother of the Dunes – Two films are included in the package, making for an entertaining and edifying double feature experience: Drissa Toure’s Haramuya (1995) is a sprawling dramatic comedy about several generations of a traditional Muslim family scraping up against various temptations (crime, movies, drugs, music) of modernity in the city of Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, and Abbdoulaye Ascofare’s Faraw: Mother of the Dunes (1997), from Mali is about a mother of three who struggles to support her family while saving her daughter from becoming the concubine-maid of a French colonialist.
GREAT AFRICAN FILMS, VOLUME 2: Tasuma / Sia, the Dream of the Python – The second installment in this series of award-winning films from Africa includes Kollo Sanou’s Tasuma, the Fighter (2003, 90 minutes, French and Jula with English subtitles), a comic look at the impact of French colonialism on Africa; Retired from the French army, Burkinabe soldier Sogo Sanou waits patiently for his pension, which he plans to use to build a grain mill for the women of his village – Next is Dani Kouyate’s Sia, the Dream of the Python (2001, 96 minutes, Bambara with English subtitles), a modern adaptation of a seventh-century African legend: A poor village decides it must make a human sacrifice to a mystical snake god to guarantee a better future; Sia, the most beautiful woman in the village, is chosen for the ritual, but she runs away in revolt.
GREAT AFRICAN FILMS, VOLUME 3: Daratt (Dry Season) & The Desert Ark – The third installment in this series of award-winning films from Africa includes Mahamat-Saleh Haroun’s Dry Season (2006, 95 minutes, French and Arabic with English subtitles), a subtle and often surprising film from Chad about the relationship between a young man and his father’s killer set at the end of the country’s civil war when the government has granted amnesty to war criminals – and Mohamed Chouikh’s The Desert Ark (1997, 90 minutes, Arabic with English subtitles), Two teenagers from opposite sides of the tracks fall in love, their forbidden relationship pitting family against family.
