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.
