Cinema of Eritrea

The history of cinema in Eritrea dates back to the country's colonial rule under the Kingdom of Italy.[1] The Italian missionary film was first introduced in a 1922 work produced in the country by Capuchin monks collaborating with the colonial government.[3] Despite the country's independence, film screenings in Eritrea are mostly still confined to English and Italian language movies.[2] Films like Eva Nera [it] were produced in Eritrea and shown the culture and differences between the Eritrean people.Directed by Giuliano Tomei, it was told through a viewpoint of Domenico Meccoli.
