After several decades of colonial cinema using Africa as an exotic setting-often denying humanity and dignity to its people-and 70 years after the invention of the cinema, freshly independent Africans take hold at long last of that movie-camera which had been forbidden to them for so long. Despite a total lack of means and infrastructures, and filming against all odds, using by chance any African or foreign support, they try to show African reality in its variegated forms, as it is seen at last through African eyes. CAMERA D'AFRIQUE, the result of a personnal shooting that took place over ten years, recalls the early 20 years of those new "authors", created in Sub-Saharan Africa, which bear witness to an amazing thirst to show and to express themselves, never extinguished to this day.

剧情梗概
半个多世纪以来，在殖民时期的电影中，非洲就像一个充满异域风情的布景，摒弃了当地的人文之美和人民的尊严。在电影诞生70年后，取得独立的非洲人民终于能够拿起之前无权触碰的摄像机，讲述自己的故事。尽管缺少必要的基础设备和条件，但他们依然借助来自非洲或国外的各类支持，挑战不可能，以此展现非洲的多样性和复杂性，并将这一现状呈现给自己的非洲同胞。《Caméra d'Afrique》凝聚了长达十年的拍摄成果，再现了这些出生在撒哈拉以南非洲的新兴"作者电影人"的前20年时光，见证了表达自我、展示自我，且如今依然旺盛的创作欲望。
