Offering an overview of the development of postcolonial African cinema since the 1960s, Valérie K. Orlando highlights the variations in content and themes that reflect the socio-cultural and political environments of filmmakers and the cultures they depict in their films. Orlando illuminates the diverse themes evident in the works of filmmakers such as Ousmane Sembčne's Ceddo (Senegal, 1977), Sarah Maldoror's Sambizanga (Angola, 1972), Assia Djebar's La Nouba des femmes de Mont Chenoua (The Circle of women of Mount Chenoua, Algeria, 1978), Zézé Gamboa's The Hero (Angola, 2004) and Abderrahmane Sissako's Timbuktu (Mauritania, 2014), among others. Orlando also considers the influence of major African film schools and their traditions, as well as European and American influences on the marketing and distribution of African film. For those familiar with the polemics of African film, or new to them, Orlando offers a cogent analytical approach that is engaging. 410 0$aQuick takes. 606 $aMotion pictures$zAfrica$xHistory 606 $aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects$zAfrica 606 $aTelevision programs$zAfrica 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects 615 0$aTelevision programs 676 $a791.43096 700 $aOrlando$b Valérie K., $01237933 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822751603321 996 $aNew African Cinema$94059734 997 $aUNINA
