Has there ever been a film developed by a completely isolated society/community?
Like some African village in buttfuck nowhere, and a team of hipsters just gave them film equipment and said "make shit"?
Uganda has a thriving film community apparently

Places like Senegal too, but I think that's because since a lot of euros came and colonized and stuff they got inspired, but that has influence
I mean they have almost no exposure to any film so it's from nothing

The guy who made this was so poor he only knew what films were like because he listened to them while sitting outside cinemas. In short he was only guessing what films were like visually and was guessing at how they were made. African film is pretty interesting, would recommend reading up on it. Some of the stuff has to be seen to be believed.

They wanted to help instill culture there like we do in the west. The results were pretty varied and most of the filmmakers used the opportunity to rain scorn down upon their French ran governments.
