UA Spotlight: The People
Produced by Pafuri Productions* this semi-trailer is a under one minute look at one of the aspects of Urban Africa: The People. 3/5
A proposed 13 episode series that explores 13 different African cities through the lens of its residents. The construct is this: in every city two local filmmakers are approached to construct an authentic portrait of their urban centre, its people, community, landscape and culture according to a set of objectives conceptualised to unify the Urban Africa series as a whole.
SYNOPSIS
Episodes exploring African cities through the eyes of it’s residents.
Each episode is filmed by way of an experiential tour of life in the city. The city’s ambiance is flavoured by interviews, vox-pop interviews, local music and street culture and cuisine. In the
series, the dynamic urban hubs of cities like Maputo, Harare, Lagos, Addis Ababa, Nairobi and Cairo amongst others will be explored with this “insider” method to get to the heart of life in each African urban centre.
The pilot episode is filmed in Pretoria, the administrative capital of South Africa.
*The NETFLIX credit is for a purpose of example of a producer, and is not factual.
For practical reasons, only Sub Saharan cities are candidates for the initial production run.
