Cinema of São Tomé and Príncipe
The cinema of São Tomé and Príncipe does not have an extensive history, since São Tomé and Príncipe is not a large island. However there has been some filmmaking.
Colonial filmmaking
Colonial filmmakers shot ethnographic documentaries in São Tomé and Príncipe: Ernesto de Albuquerque shot A cultura do Cacau em Sao Tome in 1909, and Cardoso Furtado shot Serviçal e Senhor in 1910.[1]
Contemporary filmmaking
The only feature film from São Tomé and Príncipe so far is A frutinha do Equador [Little Fruit from the Equator], a 1998 coproduction between Austria, Germany and São Tomé and Príncipe. Directed by Herbert Brodl, with São Tomé actors, the film combines fairy story, documentary, road movie and comedy.[2]

- Extra Bitter: The Legacy of the Chocolate Islands, 2000 documentary by Derek Vertongen
- Sao Tome, cent-pour-pent cacao, 2004 documentary by Virginie Berda
