Finding Hillywood

Finding Hillywood
Rwanda, USA, 2013, 61 minutes
Director: Leah Warshawski, Christopher Towey

Finding Hillywood is an award-winning documentary about the very beginning of Rwanda's film industry. Still healing from the wounds of a cultural genocide almost 20 years ago, cinema has become a way for artists to express themselves and create cultural discussion. See the inner-workings of running a film festival in the jungle, and meet some of the pioneers who volunteer to bring films to rural communities. It's a real-life example of the power of cinema to heal a man and a nation.

Javi Mojave (nickname of Javier García) makes and plays his own musical instruments inspired by African tradition. The distance between Africa and where he lives in Extremadura (Spain), doesnt prevent him feeling part of that ancient culture where he hopes to travel to one day.
