Speaking with pioneers Med Hondo, Souleymane CissÉ, and Kwaw Ansah; renowned feature filmmakers Djibril MambÉty, Haile Gerima, and Safi Faye; and award-winning younger filmmakers Idrissa Ouedraogo, Cheick Oumar Sissoko, and Jean-Pierre Bekolo, N. Frank Ukadike identifies trends and individual practices even as he surveys the evolution of African cinema and addresses the politics and problems of seeing Africa through an African lens. Situating the unique achievement of each filmmaker within the geographic, historical, social, and political context of African cinema, he also explores questions about acting, distribution and exhibition, history, theory and criticism, video-based television production, and television’s relationship to independent film.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"Univ Of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52715076485400,"sku":"9780816640058","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/questioning-african-cinema-conversations-with-filmmakers-paperback-softback-9780816640058","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
