Alex Tetteh-Lartey of Arts and Africa had the chance of a sneak preview and to hear from a young English film director called Cyril Frankel who arrived in South West Uganda to make a documentary film for the British Crown Film Unit unwrap the story of a film 'Man of Africa' that has taken thirty three years to see the light of day. It was made in 1953 when Uganda was still a Brirtish protectorate, but was awaiting its first public showing, which was to be at London's Film Festival.   

Lindsey Hilsum spoke with the Ugandan artist Jak Katarikawe who was born near Kabale in Kigezi. He had no art training, he was not even interested in painting until he was well into his twenties and erning his living as a taxi driver in Kampala. But when he began, his talent was recognised at once. He later on lived in Kenya and his oil paintgings have been seen in Switzerland, in the United States, and in London. He is especially known for his animal painting that tell complicated human stories. He spoke to  about his work including one picture, the Kenyan Family Planning used as a poster.
