"African cinema" meant film makers originating from Afrika, graduated in art schools in France, they get awarded French foundation grants, do their movie "in Africa", present an "African perspective", have it shown in an African theatre demo and win an award at an international film festival. Of course a "unique voice" and "movie language" of Africa was searched for, the movie makers were supposed to make de-colonial statements. There is a great book from Oliver Barlet, African Cinemas - decolonizing the gaze, New York 1996 Ironically, African cinema emerged in West Africa. Nollywood. It does not meet the preconceptions and quality standards of the movie art community. But you can't doubt it is unique and presents African views and life in fascinating details. Sure the digital effects, the pace and stories are quite special. --- A -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech
