National Filmographies - Africa
Here is a listing of books, websites etc. containing the complete output of films from each country.

This is indicated under each entry.
The following countries have a filmography on the Internet Movie Database: Benin / Chad / Ethiopia / Ghana / Guinea / Kenya / Madagascar / Mauritania / Namibia / Somalia / Tanzania / Togo / Zambia
