This time period has seen African cinema forging a new relationship with the real and implementing new aesthetic strategies, as well as the emergence of a post-colonial popular cinema. Drawing on more than 1,500 articles, reviews, and interviews written over the past fifteen years, Olivier Barlet identifies the critical questions brought about by the evolution of African cinema. In the process, he offers us a personal and passionate vision, making this book an indispensable sum of thought that challenges preconceived ideas and enriches an approach to cinema as a critical art. 648 7 2000-2099|2fast 650 0 Motion pictures|zAfrica, Sub-Saharan|xHistory|y21st century. 650 7 Motion pictures.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 Film|2gnd|0(DE-588)4017102-4 651 7 Africa, Sub-Saharan.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01239520 651 7 Subsaharisches Afrika|2gnd|0(DE-588)4053770-5 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Thackway, Melissa,|etranslator. 830 0 African humanities and the arts. 956 20171025 |bpfmcq|cCC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20171105 994 C0|bCUY
