Cinema Africa! – »Coz ov moni«, »Pumzi«, »Afronauts« / FILM (EN)

The evening features three films exemplifying the current African cinema scene. »Coz ov moni« (»Cause of Money«, 2010) bills itself as the first Pidgin English musical in the history of film and the first album by
the Ghanaian rap duo Fokn Bois. In her short science fiction film »Pumzi« (2009), the Kenyan filmmaker
Wanuri Kahiu portrays a future society in which water has become the most scarce and precious commodity. Inspired by real-life events, »Afronauts« (2014) by Frances Bodomo tells the story of the Zambian Space Academy and its attempt to beat the American space mission Apollo 11 to the moon in July 1969. The film night is hosted in cooperation with Stadtkino Basel and takes place there. Admission: CHF 17.00 per person
