- DAKAN (Destiny)
- DAKAN will inevitably be remembered as the first feature film on homosexuality from sub-Saharan Africa. While coming out may have become primetime fare in the U.S., this film was met with angry protests when it was shot in the director's native Guinea and has generated heated debate among Africanists here as well. But beyond its controversial topic, Dakan is a contemporary African reinterpretation of the age-old Romeo and Juliet conflict between love and social convention. Director Mohamed Camara has written, I made this film to pay tribute to those who express their love in whatever way they feel it, despite society's efforts to repress it.

- WOUBI CHERI
- WOUBI CHÉRI is the first film to give African homosexuals a chance todescribe their world in their own words. Often funny, sometimes ribald, but always real, this documentary introduces us to gender pioneers demanding their right to construct a distinct African homosexuality.
