A documentary about Conservation Agriculture in Africa. Where and how can it work? Conservation Agriculture (CA) as an approach to managing agro-ecosystems helps improve and sustain land productivity, increase profits and food security while preserving and enhancing the resource base and the environment. This documentary focuses on the situation in Kenya, Tanzania and Burkina Faso. Produced by Greendocs (www.greendocs.nl). Made by Melchert Meijer zu Schlochtern and Simone de Hek. Commissioned by The African Conservation Tillage Network (ACT).

Dr Hastings Banda is one of the most underrated African dictators. During His 33 year rule, the country experienced the worst human rights violations and paternalistic control of the Malawians.

He controlled every aspect of their lives, treating his people as children and addressing his ministers as my boys

He banned televisions, beards, dreadlocks and long hair among men. Any sort of political dissent was ruthlessly dealt with through his secret police and Militia.

Though he never had children, he relied on the support of his official hostess and former secretary Cecilia Kadzamira and Kadzamira's uncle John Tembo, who saw themselves as his successors when he left power.

He is remembered on the continent as the only leader who maintained ties with the Apartheid South Africa and Portuguese regimes; backed Nixon in Vietnam and refused to support an armed struggle against the Ian Smith regime in Southern Rhodesia.

Between the years 950 AD to 1290 AD, on the Northern border of South Africa, traversing the conference of the Shashi – Limpopo Valley, which today divides Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa, existed an ancient African Kingdom, called Mapungubwe. From the Iron Age to present day this unique one-hour film explores the history and tells the story of this remarkable city.

Governed from an impenetrable hilltop, Mapungubwe became the business centre for all of Africa’s trade which, by this period, had become well integrated into the world economy and thrived on trade with the East Indian Trade Route attracting traders from as far afield as Persia, Arabia, India and China.

Mapungubwe was inhabited by successive groups of people for this 300 year period until it was mysteriously evacuated. No one knows for sure why, but in 1290 Mapungubwes’ inhabitants left taking with them the memories and stories of Mapungubwes' early history. In this film archaeologists and historians take us on a journey through a thousand years of untold African history revealing the controversial discovery of this ancient site and its golden artifacts.

Could refugees be the solution to saving struggling towns?

A year ago the small rural community of Mingoola on the New South Wales-Queensland border was facing a bleak future. Meanwhile in Western Sydney, refugee advocate Emmanuel Musoni saw problems affecting people in his community who’d come from war-ravaged countries of central Africa.

When they were put in contact late last year, they saw a solution to both their problems; a model many now believe could be used to help struggling rural communities across the country.

The videoclip Ponto de Luz, of Sara Tavares, was created using the Stop Motion technique, which means taking pictures to objects, persons or situations, frame by frame, putting then everything together in a video sequence which creates the illusion of movement. From here, comes also the Timelapse technique, which means taking pictures with a regular constant break, for example, minute by minute, during a long period of time which creates the illusion of time passing by (shadows, clouds, sea, cars, people, etc)

For this vídeo it were taken 4500 photos, and used in the final edition 3000.

This vídeo was made and directed by Mercês Gomes e Ricardo Oliveira Alves.
