For today’s episode we bring you a very special conversation between filmmaker, academic and JGPACA director Imruh Bakari and Dr Boukary Sawadogo, associate Professor of Cinema Studies and Black Studies at The City College of New York. Held in association with the Global Cultures Institute at King’s College London, this event took a deep dive into Boukary’s practice and the complexities of teaching students about Pan African Culture.

Today's podcast is a wide and enriching conversation we had at the archive following a screening of D Elmina Davis' seminal documentary about women in Rastafari from 1988 called Omega Rising. This film was shown as part of a double bill with Nicholas Chauderge's, Born-in-a Babylon, which documents the enduring Rastafari communities in north and east London at the turn of the millennium. The discussion begins with a conversation between academics Carmen Andall-Woodroofe and Dr. Aleema Gray in response to these works. However, we were also very lucky to have in attendance a family who were featured in omega rising and also someone who worked on the film. They generously shared their thoughts and reflections about working with 'Sister D' and their experiences growing up as a Rastafari in the UK! Enjoy

Today’s episode takes us back to November 2023, when we hosted a screening of Imruh Bakari’s Film, Riots and Rumours of Riots at the May Day Rooms in central London. We were lucky enough to hold a discussion with Imruh afterwards about the process of making the film and also hear a selection of his poetry! Enjoy!

This spotlight episode stems from a Zine Making workshop which was the second part of an event series called ‘Publishing and Archiving beyond the mainstream’. These sessions were put on alongside our Friends at the May Day Rooms, and invited young people to creatively respond to the archive, learn more about Junes work in co-founding the Black Film Bulletin, and also the influence of its American counterpart the Black Film review.

Episode 2 of the Pan African Cinema Podcast is a panel conversation on African film heritage featuring four eminent African filmmakers, Jihan El-Tahri (Egypt), Ali Essafi (Morocco), Nii-Kwate Owoo (Ghana) and Jean-Marie Téno (Cameroon). We talked about Africa's displaced, contested and silenced film archives, the recuperation of archival images by means of found footage filmmaking, and the case for moving image restitution.
This episode is produced by June Givanni, Feven Haile and Nikolaus Perneczky with support from the Freelands Foundation. -
Welcome to the Pan African Cinema Podcast. In the first five episodes, we will be asking filmmakers, archivists and cultural activists what the recently renewed call for restitution and reparations means for African film heritage, what forms the restitution of moving images might take, and how to confront persistent obstacles.

With extracts from You Hide Me (Nii-Kwate Owoo, Ghana/UK, 1970), The God of Kom (Fon Quinter, Cameroon, 2017), Afrique, je te plumerai / Africa, I Will Fleece You (Jean-Marie Téno, Cameroon/France/Germany, 1992) and Les Bicots-nègres vos voisins (Med Hondo, France, 1974).
