Filmmaking in Angola

The cinema of Angola currently suffers from financial issues around the funding of new films.[1] In the early 2000s, the Angolan government helped fund a small number of films, however this programme stopped towards the end of the decade.[1] During this time the film The Hero was filmed in Angola and won the World Dramatic Cinema Jury Grand Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival.[2] The first cinemas in Angola were built in the 1930s,[3] with a total of 50 being built by the middle of the 1970s.[4][5] Many are now in a state of disrepair, but there is an effort to restore some of them.[6]
