Kenyan Cinema provides one of the most striking case studies in the
growth and development of film in Eastern Africa. The film industry
has grown tremendously at the turn of the 21st century. Notably,
there has been a significant increase in the number of domestic
film productions, film screenings, film audiences and film
festivals in the country. Indeed, Kenya has become one of
Africa’s major film markets. Kenyan actors, actresses and films
are increasingly entering and featuring in global films and
markets, and are connecting with international audiences in
commercial cinemas and at major international film festivals.
Adding to this impressive success is an upsurge in the number of
tertiary institutions training in film and a corresponding surge in
the number of students pursuing film studies in and outside the
country currently. In the academic circles, interest in Kenyan
Cinema as a serious scholarly subject has grown exponentially. The
evolution of Kenyan Cinema scholarship is also noteworthy.
Therefore, Reimagining Kenyan Cinema seeks to situate current
scholarship on Kenyan Cinema within the ongoing debates in national
and contemporary global film studies. It thus advocates for diverse
methodologies, critical tools and theoretical perspectives in
interrogating Kenyan film. This approach is premised on the
realization that critical discussions on film should lead out of
the films themselves towards matters of aesthetics, culture,
history and society. The cumulative effect of this approach is that
it allows for the presentation of a simultaneously synchronic and
diachronic approach to the study of Kenyan cinema. While individual
chapters will provide in-depth analyses of particular films,
historical moments in Kenyan and key film texts, the chapters as a
whole will cohere into a well-grounded and deeply informative
collection of original contributions on the practice of Cinema in
Kenya.
