More and more often American and European film makers move to Africa to shoot movies.
According to Gadalla Gubara, an 88-year-old Sudanese film director, Africa has a lot of potential for film stories, though most countries have still not prioritised the industry.

In some African countries film industry has just started to play a significant role in its contribution to the national economy through the provision of employment opportunities.

And finally the international movie industry is giving credit to African film makers: “Mirror of Beauty”, a Nigerian cultural epic movie by Okey Okoh, has been accepted for screening at this year’s Cannes Film Festival in France, amongst other tops films from across the world.
