The main focus is the development over forty years of two main traditions of African filmmaking: a social realist strand examining the nature of postcolonial society and a more experimental approach where emphasis is placed on new stylistic patterns able to embrace history, myth and magic. The work of younger filmmakers born since independence is examined in the light of these two traditions. Features: *An overview of the socio-political context shaped by Islam and French colonialism.*A look at filmmaking in Africa before the mid-1960s.*An examination of the inputs of African and French governments into post-independence developments North and South of the Sahara.*A historical survey of the two major tendencies in African film production over the past 40 years.*A detailed analysis of the work of five talented young filmmakers, representative of those born since independence OP - 224 CN - PN1993.5.A35 A763 2006 SN - 9780748628063 SN - 0748628061 SN - 9780748679232 SN - 0748679235 SN - 9780748670789 SN - 0748670785 SN - 9781280553950 SN - 1280553952 SN - 9786610553952 SN - 6610553955 SN - 0748621237 SN - 9780748621231 SN - 9780748621248 SN - 0748621245 KW - Motion picture industry : Africa.
