The Cinema of Burundi is the filmmaking and film industry in Burundi. ^[1]

History

Prior to the Burundi Civil War, Burundi's cinematic history was vastly undocumented.

The first recording of film in Burundi occured in 1980 when Burundian Jean-Michel Hussi Nyamusimba produced the first Burundi film, a French coproduction called Ni-Ni. In 1992 Burundi’s first feature film, Gito l’Ingrat, was released, a Swiss French Burundi co-production directed by Leonce Ngabo. ^[1]

Burundi film in the 1990s was also pioneered by women, most notable was Sham-Jeanne Hakizimana who headed television programs at National Radio and Television of Burundi. She produced the documentary film, Une Burundaise aujourd'hui in 1991. ^[2]

After the civil war, the Burundi film industry was revived in 2007, when Canadian filmmaker Christopher Redmond and Raymond Kalisa a videographer from Rwanda co-founded the Burundi Film Centre as a training ground for aspiring filmmakers. They recruited 36 young Burundians for a two-month training in film theory and production. ^[3]
