Thanks to @percyzvomuya for this piece on @CookOffZim and for seeing a story with it's roots in @BookCafe_Harare – for me it's certainly the case as I met @VakasekeRufaro @joenjagu @Zoe_Flood @ShingaiMusic @Amy_Calamities @prayersoul @AmmaraBrown & many more thanks to Book Cafe
This, by @percyzvomuya for @NewFrame_News, is an excellent deep-dive into both #CookOffZim, & the cultural history that precedes it. It doubles both as a review, & as an interview with director @TomasLutuli. We are no longer on ground zero! 🇿🇼📽️➡️🌍 https://t.co/ox3eO19awW

This is a well-considered review of @CookOffZim, & one that touches upon a slice of Zimbabwe's cultural history that we are happy to be a part of.
#CookOffZim, a solid piece of work, shows Zimbabwean ingenuity at play, the ability to stand tall in the face of ill winds blown by fate. https://t.co/9P26enU7nF

Because our parents @PatZimbabwe and Paul Brickhill were so much in the book trade, from Central Books, to Grassroots Books, Anvil Press, ZIBF, to @BookCafe_Harare (and everything else in between)... this piece on @CookOffZim by @antwilks in @LRB feels particularly special to me.
Do you know your Zimbabwean film history? This piece by @antwilks for @LRB does an excellent job of situating #CookOffZim within our historical context. And we are hopeful for even bigger and better things in the future! 🇿🇼📽️➡️🌍 #AfricanCinemaRising
