I'm coming across information about scifi films- made with ludicrously tiny budgets- by African filmmakers, set in the African continent.

 

For example: PUMZI, set in East Africa: http://www.pumzithefilm.com/

 

DRONE: A short by South African film students:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6sZ_zR3kbY

Les Saignantes  by Jean-Pierre Bekolo - a cliphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRK-Nb0_Mp0&feature=PlayList&p=77A55B24B8E41587&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=1

 

 

then a blistering critique after a showing at the Toronto Film Festival. And counter-attacks on the reviewer
