Africa Diaries – Film Series

The first in a series of monthly film screenings to be hosted by Africa House, L.M. Kit Carson showed three clips on Mozambique from his documentary series African Diary, which later aired on the Sundance channel. The five-minute videos were shot entirely on a Nokia N93 camcorder phone. Despite the brevity of the clips, the discussion that followed was very insightful, prompting Carson to show the clips a second time upon requests from the audience. Africa Diary is an emotional and newsworthy survey of current African nations and societies. Carson offers four diary entries per chosen country, focusing on issues pertaining to government, economy, and citizenship. Carson is an award-winning screenwriter and producer for both independent and Hollywood studios.
