List Of Entertainment Industry Topics
The following outline provides an overview of and topical guide to entertainment and the entertainment industry: Entertainment is any activity which provides a diversion or permits people to amuse themselves in their leisure time, and may also provide fun, enjoyment, and laughter. People may create their own entertainment, such as when they spontaneously invent a game; participate actively in an activity they find entertaining, such as when they play sport as a hobby; or consume an entertainment product passively, such as when they attend a performance.

Borom Sarret
''Borom Sarret'' or ''The Wagoner'' () is a 1963 film by Senegalese director Ousmane Sembène, the first film over which he had full control. It is often called the first film (or first narrative film) made in Africa by an African; the first "professional" African film; or the first such film to be shown widely outside of Africa. However, this is disputed, with some other films, such as ''Song of Khartoum, Sarzan'', and ''Mouramani'' having arguably been produced earlier. Thus, some authors refer to it as "among the first" films made in Africa by an African filmmaker. ''Borom Sarret'' is 18 minutes long and tells a story about a cart driver in Dakar. The film illustrates the poverty in Africa, showing that independence has not solved the problems of its people. It was shown as part of the Cannes Classics section of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Plot Senegalese director Ousmane Sembène's ''Borom Sarret'' tells the story of a poor man trying to make a living as a cart driver in Dak ...
