African cinema in the 1960s originated mainly from Francophone countries. It resembled the art cinema of contemporary Europe and relied on support from the French film industry and the French state. Beginning in 1969 the biennial Festival panafricain du cinma et de la tlvision de Ouagadougou (FESPACO), held in Burkina Faso, became the major showcase for these films. But since the early 1990s, a new phenomenon has come to dominate the African cinema world: massmarketed films shot on less expensive video cameras. These Nollywood films, so named because many originate in southern Nigeria, are a thriving industry dominating the world of African cinema.Viewing African Cinema in the Twentyfirst Century is the first book to bring together a set of essays offering a comparison of these two main African cinema modes.Contributors: Ralph A. Austen and Mahir Saul, Jonathan Haynes, Onookome Okome, Birgit Meyer, Abdalla Uba Adamu, Matthias Krings, Vincent Bouchard, Laura Fair, Jane Bryce, Peter Rist, Stefan Sereda, Lindsey GreenSimms, and Cornelius Moore
