African and notably sub-Saharan African filmrsquo;s relative eclipse on the international scene in the early twenty-first century does not transcend the growth within the African genre. This time period has seen African cinema forging a new relationship with the real and implementing new aesthetic strategies; as well as the emergence of a post-colonial popular cinema. Drawing on more than 1;500 articles; reviews; and interviews written over the past fifteen years; Olivier Barlet identifies the critical questions brought about by the evolution of African cinema. In the process; he offers us a personal and passionate vision; making this book an indispensable sum of thought that challenges preconceived ideas and enriches an approach to cinema as a critical art.
