DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In African Film: Re-imagining a Continent, Josef Gugler provides an introduction to African cinema through an analysis of 15 films made by African filmmakers. These directors set out to re-image Africa; their films offer Western viewers the opportunity to re-imagine the continent and its people. As a point of comparison, two additional films on Africa--one from Hollywood, the other from apartheid South Africa--serve to highlight African directors' altogether different perspectives. Gugler's interpretation considers the financial and technical difficulties of African film production, the intended audiences in Africa and the West, the constraints on distribution, and the critical reception of the films.

Il convenait de mieux connaître les contraintes et conditions d'exercice du métier de producteur en cette région. Après avoir questionné les critères et définition de cette production cinématographique, l'ouvrage recense l'ensemble des longs métrages produits depuis les indépendances, et en livre certaines caractéristiques économiques. Il donne également la parole à vingt-deux producteurs africains de tous les pays concernés, réputés ou encore inconnus.
