For the documentary audience, FTI has Kim Longiorno’s ‘Sisters in Law’, set in the Cameroon. For the hard core feature afficionados with a sense of history, FTI is running the Cinemateque’s season of Powell and Pressburger films.
‘I am constantly frustrated by the fact that Africa is consistently portrayed as a place of perpetual misery and despair’, says producer Florence Ayisi. ‘Our film presents a different reality, a perspective that moves beyond the negative stereotypes.’ Sisters in Law, which premiered at Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes this year, encompasses courage, hope and the possibility of change.
