PROGRAMME ADDITIONS

GREETINGS FROM AFRICA
Director Cheryl Dunye. USA 1996. 9min. Language English
We are pleased to announce the short film GREETINGS FROM AFRICA will screen ahead of THE WATERMELON WOMAN.
Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive in conjunction with the Sundance Institute. Funding provided the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Sundance Institute.

FORBIDDEN FRUIT
Tue 24 Mar 14:50 NFT3
Director Sue Maluwa-Bruce. Zimbabwe-Germany 2000. 30min.
We are pleased to announce the short film FORBIDDEN FRUIT will screen ahead of WOUBI CHÉRI.
The 2001 winner of the Berlinale Teddy Award, this bold film was the first representation of African lesbian desire on screen.
Sue Maluwa Bruce's docu-fiction is an imaginative cinematic piece that came out of Zimbabwe at the height of queer censorship. The filmmaker narrates the tale of Nongoma and Tsitsi, two residents of a rural village whose love endures against impossible odds. WM

Please note that both FORBIDDEN FRUIT and WOUBI CHERI are not restored and we will be screening both films from digital scans of the available materials. Although these materials are not optimal, we believe their value as documents of the history of LGBTQIA+ filmmaking makes for essential viewing and we hope you can enjoy this screening of otherwise rare films.
