Movies: Best Movies in Kinyarwanda(Ikinyarwanda)

Kinyarwanda, Rwandan or Rwanda, officially known as Ikinyarwanda, is a Bantu language and the national language of Rwanda. It is a dialect of the Rwanda-Rundi language that is also spoken in Burundi and adjacent parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda (where there is a dialect known as Rufumbira or Urufumbira) and Tanzania. Kinyarwanda is universal among the native population of Rwanda and is mutually intelligible with Kirundi, the national language of neighbouring Burundi. Kinyabwishya and Kinyamulenge are mutually intelligible dialects spoken in the North Kivu and South Kivu provinces of neighbouring DR Congo. In 2010, the Rwanda Academy of Language and Culture (RALC) was established to help promote and sustain Kinyarwanda. The organization attempted an orthographic reform in 2014, but it was met with pushback due to their perceived top-down and political nature, among other reasons. ()

Kinyarwanda is spoken in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda and 2 movies (between 2013 and 2022) with this language have been recorded so far. Most of these movies were shot in Rwanda (2). Popular genres for Kinyarwanda movies are Drama (2), Science Fiction (1) and Music (1). Neptune Frost (2022) and The Pardon (2013) are among the best known & most successful Kinyarwanda movies.

In the hilltops of Burundi, a group of escaped coltan miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region's natural resources – and its people. When an intersex runaway and an escaped coltan miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry.

Directed by Anisia Uzeyman, Saul Williams - With Eliane Umuhire, Dorcy Rugamba
