One film from each country in the world
This is a list of films I have seen as part of my project to watch at least one film from each country in the world. These are the criteria:
(1) The film should be feature-length, not a short film.
(2) The film should be a live-action narrative. This excludes animation and documentary films.
(3) Each film should be entirely produced by its respective country. This excludes co-productions.
To the best of my knowledge, each film on this list satisfies all criteria, unless otherwise indicated.
My intention is not necessarily to watch films that have the best reviews, or that are considered to be the best from their respective countries. I mainly choose films that will be of interest to me, which means there may end up being a lot of science fiction and fantasy films on my list, as those are my favorite genres. There will also be a few obscure films, and some that are a bit eccentric or bizarre. I like to dig deep.
This is an on-going project. I will update the list periodically.
Some of the films I have watched are not listed on IMDB, but can be found on Youtube (unless otherwise indicated*):
Belize - The Bottle
Benin - Maman Katé
Burundi - Umutwe Winkuba
Democratic Republic of the Congo - Trahison
Equatorial Guinea - Anu Ngan
