Directors Craig and Damon Foster
"Cosmic Africa" is the extraordinary personal odyssey of African astronomer, Thebe Medupe, who journeys into this ancient continent’s astronomical past unveiling the deep connection humans have with the cosmos.
Filmed in the heart of the Egyptian Sahara Desert, the precipitous cliffs of Dogon Country in Mali and the ancestral land of Namibia’s hunter-gatherers, the film both explores and sheds new light on traditional African astronomy and in turn, the global understanding of the world’s oldest science.
Winner of the prestigious 2003 Stone Award for best film |
