"In Tanzania pirated video copies of foreign films are subject to a profound practice of remediation. Video narrators who either perform live simultaneous translations and commentaries on such films in video parlours, or mediatise their interpretations as VHS cassettes and DVDs with Kiswahili voice-over, are in great demand and have established themselves as mediators between American, Chinese, Indian, and Nigerian films and their local audiences. In this essay I will introduce two such video narrators, Lufufu and King Rich, and part of their work, such as sequences from a version of the Nigerian Pentecostal classic Karishika (Christian Onu, 1998) by King Rich, and of Titanic (James Cameron, 1997) and Super Love (Andy Amenechi, 2003) by Lufufu."
