African Film Library Launched

M-Net launched the African Film Library in late September. The site
has a feature films, shorts, and documentaries from the last 50 years
and is available at http://www.africanfilmlibrary.com. It’s in beta.

You can browse the site by a variety of factors or you can search by
keyword. When I browsed for everything alphabetically I got 12 pages
of results that could hold nine listings at a time, so I would guess
something over 100 films are available here.

Click on the title and you’ll get details about the film, including a
synopsis, length, date it was produced, and language.
