S03E02 - "Cinémathèque Afrique, Vol. 1"

This week's episode finds us digging through a vast collection of gems in the oft overlooked but pivotal element of African cinema - the soundtrack. Unearthing them in the first volume of Night Market's new mini-series "Cinémathèque Afrique", we explore the work of the bold composers who have contributed to the moving African image, as well as the eclectic musical choices of its beloved canon. Our journey touches on films old and new, weaving music within the traditional feature format, the experimental visual album and everything in between. Cinémathèque Afrique highlights the intertwined nature of the music and film scenes, and what they each bring to one another in an African context
