Cameroon’s best-known director, Jean-Pierre Bekolo, built a career on sharp, playful satire of gender and city life in Yaounde. The Bloodiest has two women disposing of a minister’s body in a surreal, genre-bending tale, Quartier Mozart has a teenage girl magically becoming a man to understand her neighbourhood’s gender politics, and Muna Moto has a poor man unable to pay a bride price. The Fisherman’s Diary, Sango Malo and Aristotle’s Plot round out the list.
