AfricaFilms.tv is the first legal download site for films from and about Africa and the diaspora, following in the footsteps of Amazon’s LOVEFiLM and the recent launch of YouTube’s online movie rental service.
Created by the Senegalese company SOON, this initiative manages its entire e-store from Africa. It is based upon the cooperation between AfricaFilms.tv and African producers, directors and film owners.
Feature films, documentaries, live events and series (most available with subtitles) are available for download from anywhere in the world.
The South Africa Online Film Festival, in partnership with Encounters South African International Documentary Film Festival and the South African Season in France 2013, runs until Sunday 22 September.
It offers an international audience a chance to rent or buy 150 entirely South African films and television series episodes divided into four genres which best represent the most well-known film events in the country, which are Cinema & Fiction, Documentary, LGBT and Human Rights.
Members will receive a Free Film Rent Offer where each visitor gets a free film for 48 hours. This takes place during the last week of August and as a closing event from 13 to 22 September 2013. This is a documentary special as a partnership between Encounters and People2people.
