Flora M'mbugu-Schelling

Flora M'mbugu-Schelling was born in Tanzania. She attended the school of journalism in the capital, then trained in Germany and France. Her first film, in 1987, about women who take their destiny in hand through education, won her a gold medal at a New York festival and was distributed by an American missionary society. She has continued in documentary, the only genre she practises, with a film about street children in 1993. The directories give neither her date nor her place of birth, and her work remains little documented outside academic studies.
