In 2023, film productions from the African continent shine and are increasingly talked about around the world. A record year also at the Cannes Film Festival since 12 films from the continent were presented on the Croisette. Among them, 6 feature films, including “Les Filles d’Olfa” by Kaouther Ben Hania. Are African cinemas at a turning point? We talk about it with director Kaouther Ben Hania and Pape Boye, producer and co-founder of the Black Mic Mac entity.
Black Mic Mac is a financing and production structure that aims to promote African talent and support the flourishing development of the cinematographic landscape on the continent.

The mythical setting of Planet Tatooine of the “Star Wars” saga in the Tunisian desert
The African continent has a huge variety of locations that can serve as movie sets. From the film “Indiana Jones” to “English Patient”, via “Out of Africa”, many Hollywood productions have taken advantage of the continent’s majestic landscapes. Example in Tunisia. It was in the south of the country that George Lucas created the planet Tatooine where Luke Skywalker grew up. The sets are still there. They attract many Star Wars fans.
