Hyde Park Picture House are presenting the first wave of a new African film strand, supported by Leeds African Communities Trust.

African cinema has historically been excluded and underrepresented locally, nationally and internationally. This film strand aims to raise awareness of African life and culture through excellent films for the African and non-African audiences in Leeds.

Here's a review of Cook Off (2017, Zimbabwe) the first film in the series, which is being screened at Headingley HEART on 4th March at 7.30pm. The review is by Leeds writer Lucy Ndlovu.
