“It’s not because you don’t have the means that you don’t dream,” says Guy-Serge Namane, a director at the second Bushman Film Festival, a cornucopia of global smartphone cinema.Namane asks actress Berenice Irie, in full make-up, to knock on the door of Room 8 at the Bushman Cafe in Abidjan, the venue at the centre of the second such festival, unique in West Africa.“With the telephone, we can communicate but we can also make films and we can even cast the light to make films!” Namane jests.
The event included workshops for students and master classes with professional directors and conferences, but the main purpose was simply to show films. “We really want to do this,” Irie said. “I hope that the film will be watched so that we can move beyond” the chronic lack of resources.
