Eleni, bydd Gŵyl Watch Africa yn dathlu etifeddiaeth sinematig Djibril Diop Mambéty, o Senegal, a elwir yn ‘The African Orson Welles’. Rydym yn falch iawn o allu dangos Touki Bouki o 1973 (a fu’n ysbrydoliaeth i daith ddiweddaraf Beyonce a Jay Z) ffilm sy’n dilyn cwpwl ifanc wrth iddynt geisio dianc rhag tlodi Senegal am Ffrainc.
This year our annual Watch Africa programme celebrates the ground breaking cinematic legacy of Senegal’s Djibril Diop Mambéty, famously dubbed the ‘African Orson Welles’. We are fortunate to be able to show Touki Bouki from 1973 (which inspired the recent Beyonce and Jay Z world tour) his classic edgy, energetic ode to youthful idealism and rebellion which follows two youngsters as they attempt to escape what they perceive to be the poverty and backwardness of their native Senegal for France.

Teyrnged arbennig i ddewrder plant y stryd. Mae’n dilyn Sili, un o ferched y stryd sydd ar faglau ac yn gwerthu papurau newydd mewn dinas llawn rhwystrau er mwyn cynnal hi a’i nain. Mae gwaith cinematig Mambéty yn dathlu amrywiaeth bywyd go iawn Affricanaidd yn ogystal â chymysgu elfennau Affricanaidd gyda’i gilydd er mwyn adfywio sinema fel celf byd-eang.
A tribute to the courage of street children as he follows beggar girl Sili, who on crutches, sells newspapers in a city full of obstacles in order to support money for herself and her blind grandmother. Mambéty’s films celebrate the diversity of real African life as well as mixing African elements together in order to reinvent cinema.

This extraordinarily vivid documentary film of a poacher and a gamekeeper in Northern Kenya plays like a thriller as the daily struggles of both man and beast play out against a background of compromised morality and issues of mortality. Powerful stuff.

Mae’r gymdeithas sy’n byw yn Railway ger Marseilles yn dioddef trais gan yr heddlu a dim ond y criw ifanc ‘Five Fingers’ sy’n taro’n ôl. Trais, brwydro ac aberth mewn ffilm spaghetti western unigryw o oes Apartheid De Affrica.
The community of Railway, attached to the remote town of Marseilles, are the victims of brutal police oppression and only the young “Five Fingers” are willing to stand up to them. Outlaws, battles and mythic sacrifice aplenty.
