One Evening in July

One Evening in July unfolds the battle between the society morals of a sixty year old bridal beautician and her empathy for a reluctant bride, who is plotting to murder her groom. This film is part of a series called Mama Africa, a groundbreaking short film initiative that brought together the incredible talents of six female directors spanning the vast and diverse continent of Africa. The six selected directors were from Burkina Faso, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zimbabwe. The six short films challenge the stereotypical perception of women and the people surrounding them in Africa. Crossing language and regional barriers, each story presents an entirely different perspective and continental reality. Yet a common thread portraying the comic, tragic, and passionate side of modern life in Africa unites the whole.
