Curated with Bristol- based partners, this literary weekend brings together writers from Nigeria, Cote D’Ivoire, Somalia, Uganda, Ghana and across the diaspora for workshops, film screenings, panel discussions, performances and book launches.

Ahead of a screening of Biyi Bandele’s recent adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s acclaimed novel Half of a Yellow Sun and Ingrid Sinclair’s short Riches, a panel of writers and filmmakers discuss the intersection of film and literature about and in Africa. How do creative processes compare and move across screen and text? How does financing work and differ for these media? What are the political implications of putting Africa on-screen in an era of ‘spectacle culture’ and ‘poverty porn’? What are the challenges of putting literary fiction onscreen, and what different roles have poets and novelists had in shaping filmic representations of Africa? Screenings: Riches (26 min) A short film inspired by the influential writer Bessie Head, following the story of Molly McBride and her son Peter’s journey from apartheid South Africa to an isolated school in Zimbabwe.

The volunteer who claimed he knew more about international affairs living on a remote Indonesian island than back in London is not alone. And the most obvious manifestation of this shrinking view is the stereotype – one-dimensional, often negative and uninformed, but strongly- held views about life and people in the developing world. It is human nature to stereotype. Psychologists say that it is our way of making sense of a very large world.

  • Representing Witches in Contemporary Ghana: Challenges and Reflections on Making the ‘Witches of Gambaga’ Yaba Badoe
    82 | Feminist Africa 16 Representing Witches in contemporary Ghana: challenges and reflections on making the ‘Witches of Gambaga’ Yaba Badoe Ghanaian women film makers are making serious inroads to the local cultural landscape. An important and popular space has been prised open in the feature film industry by Shirley Frimpong-Manso and Leila Djansi. Shirley specialises in writing and directing high-end, glossy, Hollywood-style, women-centred feature films full of sex and sexuality which are hugely successful in Ghana. Leila – through her production company – Turning Point Pictures – also writes and directs movies. To my eyes, her films veer towards a more ‘artsy’, francophone aesthetic, yet nonetheless tackle pressing social issues. Her latest film Sinking Sands, for example, is concerned with exposing and challenging domestic violence within marriage. My contribution, as a documentary film-maker, is somewhat different, most recently having completed The Witches of Gambaga. (see Ekine, this issue (p. 154) When I started researching residents at the witches camp at Gambaga in 2004 as part of a pan-African Mapping Sexualities Programme devised and coordinated by the African Gender Institute at the University of Cape Town in collaboration with the Institute of African Studies at the University of Ghana, I did not anticipate that six years later we would still be trying to finish the film based on that research.1 Nor did I anticipate that I would find myself identifying so strongly with the refrain I heard so often among the women living at the witches’ camp, when I’d ask them to tell me their life stories.
