Screening of Walubango: The Just Rock (shot in Kawempe) and Silivia the Zulu with live music by Percussion Discussion Afrika

This more than a century old hand tinted film taken from the most famous tale of the Thousand and One Nights brings the fantastic world of Aladin and his encounter with the geni in the lamp to life.

Though the filmmaker prepared a soundtrack for Heaven and Earth Magic, often considered his masterwork, he had expressed an interest in a score of African drumming. But this never happened in his lifetime. Now Percussion Discussion Afrika have the unique opportunity to fulfil Harry’s wish and provide that music.

This film, though directed by an Italian, represents the first real Sub-Saharan African feature film. It was recently rediscovered and perhaps the only silent African film of its kind.
