The prize for best feature film at the just ended CinemAfrica Film Festival 2011 went to Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, from Chad, for his film A Screaming Man (Un Homme Qui Crie).

The prize consists of the Swedish distribution via the People’s Cinema, and a prize sum of 10,000 Swedish Kroner. The jury had this to say:

A beautifully crafted film about the precarious relationship Between a father and his son. The stylish camera work and the exquisite performances husband Mahamat-Saleh Haroun’s A Screaming Man a powerful cinematic experience.

  1. I knew this was going to win. It was by far the best movie at the festival, except for really, Outside the Law. But A Screaming Man really had a lot of stuff together. The style has just never been seen before.

  2. I thought Hors-La-Loi was much better. The only reason they would give it to Un Homme Qui Crie is only because it is a black story. If Hors-La-Loi had black people in it I bet they would rather give it to them. But lo and behold the hypocrisy of stereotyping everything African as Black.
