The history of cinema in
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 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.[4][5]
European influence continues to this day, such as "European Film Weeks", which have been held annually for the last 15 years.[6] Almost 100% of the films produced in Eritrea fall under the "Fiction" category.[7]
