Machine Boys

Karima Ashadu brings us a film that is part of her post-colonial research work. We’re in Lagos, where the government has banned the use of motorcycle taxis, but these “machine boys” continue their work, facing the consequences of this ban, in search of financial independence.

Late Summer 91

Found footage is a cherished subgenre of horror cinema. Here, it’s a documentation of when a birthday party suddenly found itself without salt. “Gonna party like it’s 1991”.
