AlbakiReads Editorial A wide-ranging reference map of African feature filmmaking
A wide-ranging reference map of African feature filmmaking
Roy Armes organizes nearly a century of African feature-film history into a three-part reference work spanning 37 countries. Individual filmmaker entries gather biographical details, training or film experience, creative activities, and feature-film credits, while country sections supply chronologies, filmographies, and bibliographies. A title index, with English or French translations where applicable, supports cross-country research and title discovery. Covering 5,415 films by 1,253 filmmakers—from early locally produced features through the industry represented at the time of publication—the volume foregrounds the breadth of African cinema as a continental field rather than treating it as a single national tradition.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students and researchers of African cinema
- Film-reference and filmography users
- Readers seeking country-by-country context for African feature films
