In a major leap for African cinema, the OAT District of Sierra Leone has launched the African Cinematic Universe, a new film company led by a talented group of youth aged 16 to 30.
Nii Adama Djata and King Oyanka, in partnership with the OAT Empire, have joined forces with these young filmmakers, acquiring a 50% stake and serving as the main sponsors of the initiative.
The collaboration has produced Africa’s first superhero movie made entirely by Africans. This film, already available in two parts on the Anamase Coalition YouTube Channel, will have its official premiere at the Africa Global Peace Summit in December in Benin, signaling a significant moment for African storytelling.
What makes this project particularly extraordinary is that the entire film was created using cellphones, a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of the Sierra Leonean youth involved. Their achievement underscores the potential of African talent, even when faced with limited resources.
This cinematic venture is just one of the innovative projects led by Adama Djata and King Oyanka. Recently, they introduced the “1 Super Computer” initiative, a traditional AI system designed to offer automated workforce solutions with a focus on precision data, unbiased governance, and continuous productivity.
Both the African Cinematic Universe and the “1 Super Computer” initiative are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), demonstrating a shared commitment to ending poverty, protecting the planet, and ensuring prosperity for all.
These efforts highlight the intersection of cultural innovation and technological advancement in driving sustainable development across the continent.
