Hajji Cagakombe

Hadj Mohamed Giumale, also known as Hajji Cagakombe, is counted among the first filmmakers of Somalia. In the late fifties, the Cinecittà studios in Rome worked with the first Somali directors, and it was in co-production with an Italian company that he made his feature film independently. In 1966, he was among those who helped found the Pan-African Federation of Filmmakers. Neither his dates, nor his training, nor the rest of his career are known.
