    Year released: 1966 | Director: Gillo Pontecorvo With no disrespect to the other 53 entries in this list, we start off with the strongest and most powerful film of them all: The Battle of Algiers. One of the greatest films ever made, this blistering thriller features a relentless score by Ennio Morricone and a smirking antagonist on the level of Ha...

    Year released: 1973 | Director: Sarah Maldoror One of the few entries on this list that’s directed by a woman, Sarah Maldoror‘s feature-length debut Sambizanga is a blazing piece of political film. This shouldn’t be surprising, given she worked as Gillo Pontecorvo’s assistant on The Battle of Algiers. With Sambizanga, the Russian-educated Maldoror ...

    Year released: 1988 | Director: Dominique Loreau Another African movie directed by a woman, Dominique Loreau’s genre-bending debut Divine Carcasstracks the various owners of a used Peugeot car.

When the boy’s cousin falls ill, the despised old woman that he calls “Yaaba”, or “grandmother”, endeavors to cure him. Direc...

    Year released: 1993 | Director: Léonce Ngabo With very few Burundian movies to choose for this list, Leonce Ngabo’s debut Gito l’ingrat(“Gito the ungrateful”) is also Burundi’s first feature film.

    Year: 1981 | Director: Daniel Kamwa Another unsuccessful Academy Award submission, Daniel Kamwa’s Cameroonian family comedyOur Daughter features a familiar trope—a member of the younger generation returning from abroad. In Our Daughter, Charlotte comes back from Europe, having picked up the habits of that continent—including an unwillingness to sup...

    Year released: 1996 | Director: Leão Lopes The only feature-length narrative movie I could find from Cape Verde that was directed by a Cape Verdean filmmaker, The Island of Contenda is a drama that’s adapted from a novel by Henrique Teixeira de Sousa. Cape Verde has a more active cinematic culture than some of the other countries on this list; its ...
