In Testament, the condition of the postcolony is embodied in the figure of activist turned television reporter Abena who returns to contemporary Ghana, for the first time since the 1966 coup that ended President Kwame Nkrumah’s experiment in African socialism. Adrift in a ‘war zone of memories’ in the words of the film’s subtitle Abena is caught in the tension between public history and private memory Testament is characterised by a depopulated frame and the deliberately cold look that evoke an emotional landscape of postcolonial trauma.

Heritage Africa (1989) Kwaw Ansah, Kofi Bucknor, Ian Collier, Anima Misa, Drama

rarefilm — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 23:50:06 +0000

The films follows the first black district commissioner appointed in Ghana circa 1955, shortly before the civil unrest that would lead to Ghana becoming the sub-Saharan African country to gain independence. Thoroughly Anglicized, Kwesi Atta Bosomefi changes his name to Quincy Arthur Bosomfield. He speaks English, is Cambridge educated and dresses and decorates in the style of the British. He is embarrassed by his own mother, gives away his ancestor’s sacred heirlooms to a foreign collector and is too busy helping the British suppress the growing nationalist movement to look after his own dying son. In all other regards, too, he has turned his back on his African heritage. It will take a great deal to reawaken his own Ghanaian identity.

Director: Kwaw Ansah

Stars: Kofi Bucknor, Ian Collier, Anima Misa
