What’s on: Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Johannesburg
Eleven titles worth the trip this fortnight, with the screens that are actually showing them and the ones to avoid.
This is a guide to what is playing, not a list of what has been released. The difference matters: a wide release with one late-night screen in your city is not, practically speaking, playing.
Times move. Confirm before you travel. Where a title has a limited run, the closing date is noted.
This fortnight
Two of the eleven are worth arranging your week around. Four are solid. The rest are here because they are only on for a fortnight and you would otherwise wait a year.
One repertory note: the restoration playing on Sunday afternoons is the correct aspect ratio for the first time in decades, which is not a small thing.
