Film News: Improved conditions, gripping tales fuel moviemaking boom -- Film buffs may mark 2006 as the year the cinema world truly embraced Africa. While lensing in the continent is nothing new for Hollywood studios -- think 1985 Oscar-winner "Out of Africa" -- the difference this time is that helmers are tackling a number of specifically African stories. "The Last King of Scotland," "Catch a Fire," "Blood Diamond" and "Babel," all generating Oscar buzz, were filmed on location around the continent.
