Abstract: This article offers a critical review of recent Angolan films that together constitute a renaissance of cinema in Angola, thanks to the normalization that has been made possible during the post-war years. The films The Hero by Zézé Gamboa (2004) and Hollow City by Maria João Ganga (2004) are discussed within the context of the emergence of cinema in Angola, which is indissociable from the larger historical and political context since independence.
