What is a movie without a director or auteur as the French like to say?
Well, that would be akin to a football team without a coach, an orchestra without a conductor… well, you get the picture.
This year at the Lights Camera Africa 2018 film festival, guests will be treated to 20 envelope-pushing films from across Africa but who are the directors behind these films?
Some have been at LCA before like Kenneth Gyang while others are first-timers.
Meet them and their babies.
