Here's an interesting fact - did you know that many African films made during the post-colonial period can be seen much more easily in the West than in Africa? This is because most of the films made in Africa between the 1960s and 1980s were fully or partially funded by European governments and production companies, giving them the rights for distribution and screening.

According to a report by Unesco, most historic African films are now in the national film archives of France, the United Kingdom and other European countries, and not in Africa itself.

Experts from the movie industry in Africa are now calling for the films and the distribution rights to be given back to African countries.

Amil Shivji is a filmmaker and lecturer at the University of Dar es Salaam.

"We're still quite dependent on European markets to distribute our films because we lack the infrastructure for distribution here. So even the classical films by the fathers of African cinema, we still don't have the rights to distribute those films on the African continent, even for educational purposes."
