Challenging established views and assumptions about traditions and
practices of filmmaking in the African diaspora, this three-volume
set offers readers a researched critique on black film. Volume One
of this landmark series on African cinema draws together
foundational scholarship on its history and evolution. Beginning
with the ideological project of colonial film to legitimize the
economic exploitation and cultural hegemony of the African
continent during imperial rule to its counter-historical formation
and theorization. It comprises essays by film scholars and
filmmakers alike, among them Roy Armes, Med Hondo, Fèrid
Boughedir, Haile Gerima, Oliver Barlet, Teshome Gabriel, and David
Murphy, including three distinct dossiers: a timeline of key dates
in the history of African cinema; a comprehensive chronicle and
account of the contributions by African women in cinema; and a
homage and overview of Ousmane Sembène, the "Father" of African
cinema.
