This book deals with the film in Africa and its struggle with the forces of commercialization on one hand and commitment to development, poverty alleviation and the critical tradition on the other. Written by over a dozen contributors from Austria, Canada, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, the United States and Tanzania, the chapters explore the historical and contemporary issues shaping and being shaped by the film in Africa. The book is in honour of one of the best filmmakers in Africa, Mr. Tunde Kelani and about on third of the chapters deal with his works.
