Nollywood melodrama, Senegalese auteur cinema, Kingston reggae films, Kenyan crime thrillers — one map, filtered by scene, language, country and festival award. Built light, on purpose.
African cinema isn’t one thing. Each industry has its own language, audience and history — so these are the names people actually use, not a dropdown of country codes.
General movie databases treat African and diasporic film as a footnote, and assume everyone’s on fibre. Neither is true here.
Every title’s country tag was cross-checked against production data, not guessed from a title match — foreign films that merely filmed on location get filtered out, not counted as local.
Yoruba, Wolof, Swahili, Amharic, Zulu — search by the language actually spoken on screen, pulled from structured language data, not inferred from country alone.
No webfonts, no tracking scripts. Flip on Data Saver in the header and posters are replaced with generated covers — the page still tells you what everything is, just lighter. Your choice sticks.
