AFRICAN FILMMAKING

This volume attempts to join the disparate worlds of Egyptian, Maghrebian, South African, Francophone, and Anglophone African cinema--that is, five "formations" of African cinema. These five areas are of particular significance--each in its own way. History, geography, production, distribution, and exhibition are considered alongside film studies concerns about ideology and genre. The volume provides essential information for all those interested in the vital worlds of cinema in Africa since the time of the Lumière brothers.
