Emphasizing postindependent films released since the 1950s and the burgeoning commercial film production of the last decade, Focus on African Films provides unique and pluralistic perspectives on filmmaking throughout Africa. As a whole, the collection highlights the distinct thematic, stylistic, and socioeconomic circumstances of African filmmaking. Individual essays show how conditions in Africa have generated a broad range of views and techniques, from the stylistically innovative documentaries of JeanMarie Teno and Abderrahmane Sissako and the 'documentary fiction' of MahamatSaleh Haroun to the vibrant art films of JeanPierre Bekolo and the new films from South Africa. Contributors also outline the direction of increasingly popular, less didactic subSaharan filmmaking in films such as Daniel Kamwa's PoussePousse, Ngangura Mweze's La vie est belle, and Imungu Ivanga's Dl. Uptodate and richly informative, Focus on African Films will be essential reading for students and scholars of African film.Contributors are Franoise Balogun, Brenda F. Berrian, Robert Cancel, Mbye Cham, Madeleine CottenetHage, Beti Ellerson, Samba Gadjigo, Josef Gugler, Kenneth W. Harrow, Franoise Pfaff, Mara Roof, N. Frank Ukadike, Valerie Wheat, and Josephine Woll.
