Synopsis

Emphasizing post-independent films released since the 1950s and the burgeoning commercial film production of the last decade, "Focus on African Films" provides unique and pluralistic perspectives on filmmaking throughout Africa. As a whole, the collection highlights the distinct thematic, stylistic, and socioeconomic circumstances of African filmmaking. Individual essays show how conditions in Africa have generated a broad range of views and techniques, from the stylistically innovative documentaries of Jean-Marie Teno and Abderrahmane Sissako and the "documentary fiction" of Mahamat-Saleh Haroun to the vibrant art films of Jean-Pierre Bekolo and the new films from South Africa. Contributors also outline the direction of increasingly popular, less didactic sub-Sarahan filmmaking in films such as Daniel Kamwa's "Pousse-Pousse", Ngangura Mweze's "La vie est belle", and Imungu Ivanga's "Dole". Up-to-date and richly informative, "Focus on African Films" will be essential reading for students and scholars of African film.
