Hi George! Good luck with your venture.
In South Africa you might approach Ster Kinekor and Anant/Sanjeev Singh of Videovision (Durban). In Zimbabwe the man is John Riber, Media for Development Trust, but also Steve Smith, right here on this newsgroup. In Tunisia, Ahmed Attia holds the rights for many films from the Maghreb. In Cairo Gaby Khoury (Youssef Chahine Film Co) is also a good distributor. In terms of "Central" African films, there are many production names. You might be well served by contacting the secretariat at FESPACO. Then again, many of those filmmakers are based in Paris, e.g. Idrissa Ouedraogo. Cheik Omar Sissoko is now the Minister of Culture for Mali, as well as being a leading filmmaker, so he is another possibility. The films from Senegal/Mali/Togo/Burkina Faso are in French, so be sure to stress the need for an English subtitled version. Ditto the films from North Africa, which are in Arabic/French.
