New African Film Festival Closing Night: PUBLIC TOILET AFRICA [AMANSA TIAFI] plus Q&A with filmmaker Kofi Ofosu-Yeboah
Years after she left, a reticent Ama (Briggitte Appiah) returns to the city where she was gifted to a white art collector as a little girl. Her quest to repay an old debt spins out of control when she recruits an ex-lover (David Klu) on her mission. Evading capture as they flee across Ghana, their fate becomes tied to two people with whom they cross paths. Evoking the vitality of African New Wave gem TOUKI BOUKI, this pulpy revenge tale marks the bold and visually arresting debut of Ghanaian filmmaker Kofi Ofosu-Yeboah. A spunky genre mash-up of road movie and gangster film, it's a tale that is alive to the music of Afrobeat and the rhythms of present-day Accra. (Note adapted from MUBI.)
