In the Name of Christ Smoke in the Eyes

The last night of the African Film Festival brings recent features from the Ivory Coast and Cameroon. A shrewd study of faith and false prophets, In the Name of Christ follows a drunken man who attracts a cultish army of followers after experiencing visions of a childlike god. (Roger Gnoan M'bala, 1993, Ivory Coast; 90 mins.)

In Smoke in the Eyes, an indecisive girl from Zaire travels to Brussels to spend time with a young African filmmaker. (Francois Woukache, 1998, Cameroon; 23 mins.)
