Description

African Documentary Cinema investigates the inception and trajectory of contemporary documentary filmmaking in sub-Saharan African countries and their diasporas. The book challenges critical paradigms that have long prevailed in African film criticism, shedding light on the diverse discourses and evolving aesthetic trends present within documentary films. Situating his analysis within the context of the significant transformation of the African film industry, the author focuses on the development, diversity and shifting dynamics that have impacted contemporary documentary cinema. Examining the historical, political, sociological, economic and cultural factors that have facilitated the rise of documentary films – especially those created by female documentarians – the book assesses the emergence of documentary filmmakers spanning different generations. Their training, practices, and innovative perspectives on social, political and environmental issues ultimately give rise to new frameworks for understanding the bio-documentary genre, issues of gender discrimination, LGBTQIA+ identities, environmental trauma, genocide, and memory on the African continent. This ground-breaking study offers new insight into a rapidly expanding topic and will appeal to students and scholars in the fields of film studies, documentary film, media industry studies, African studies, French, postcolonial studies, politics and cultural studies.
