Talking to the Zimbabwean filmmaker about Afrofuturism, Hollywood and how to tell kick ass stories

There wasn’t a dry eye in the house by the end of Sunu Gonera’s presentation at Design Indaba 2018. The theme of the film director’s conference talk was the concepts behind Afrofuturism that fuel his and many other adventurous artists’ work, but what really touched the audience was his personal recounting of the highs and lows – and more highs – of his own life. Growing up in a township in Civil War-torn Zimbabwe, Gonera’s home life was hard (“No food, no dad.”) but he found escape by watching classic Hollywood movies and “having big dreams”. He won a scholarship to the University of Cape Town and worked in banking but it wasn’t long before the lure of the moving image proved too strong. He cut his teeth making advertisements for the likes of Nike and Coca Cola and his short film Riding With Sugar made it to Cannes.
