Don Pedro is a serial photographer and since 2000 he has amassed a
photographic collection of public expressions of protest in the
form of subvertised billboards, posters, stickers and graffiti
which give voice to various forms of protest. Most of the images
were captured in Bristol, as Don Pedro moved around by foot or by
bike documenting images of protest whether or not they match his
view of the world. Includes 2017 general election, Brexit, Trump,
and much more. These expressions of protest were all placed in
public view without permission - a political act in itself.
The Nigerian film industry, or Nollywood as it has come to be
known, is one of the most prolific producers of film fiction in the
world and has influenced and stimulated the African film industry
beyond the borders of Nigeria itself. With over 1,200 video films
produced each year, Nigeria has become one of the most prolific
producers of film fiction in the world. The majority of the films
are of poor quality, made on very low budgets and in a very short
time,but their production has a big impact on people in Nigeria and
the industry's influence is extending across the continent. This
book examines how the experiences and lives of Nigerians are
narrated through the storyboards ofthe video producers, who copy
with confidence and energy the recipes and formulas of popular
films. As a home-grown industry that emerged spontaneously and
without outside support, its vitality is a counter to
'Afro-pessimism' and demonstrates the possibility of reviving the
African film industry and developing a cinema-going public to
support it. PIERRE BARROT works in the Dept for Cultural
Co-operation and Action at the French Embassy in Algiers, and was
formerly the Regional Audio-Visual Attach at the French Embassy in
Lagos. Contributors include TUNDE KELANI, OLIVIER BARLET, TUNDE
