Normally, we provide an introduction that attempts to situate or appropriately orient our conversations … however, there are those instances where the conversations have their way of orienting themselves … creating paths to push us to seek more information or expand and further strengthen paths that we have started … What we will present today, is one of those conversations that take on a life of its own … the paths pushing us to think beyond the limits of now form organically. Today, we are pleased to have filmmaker Ọnuọra Abụah of AEA films back with us to talk about their recent work. We situate their efforts in a tradition of memory keepers in new material technologies. The documentaries, we reference in this conversation, can be viewed via YouTube on AEA Films UK page. As a director, writer, and producer Ọnuọra Abụah began his career as an actor in London. Born in Kenya to a Nigerian Father and Rwandese/Ugandan mother, he spent most of his youth living across Central and West Africa. After starring in his self-written play, Another Biafra, plays in theatre, he soon began writing his debut feature film, Woolwich Boys, receiving acclaim and tv distribution in the UK and Africa. His sophomore feature, Mona was invited to over 20 film festivals around the world winning the Luxor African Film Festival's Grand Prize and nominated for numerous other awards.
