AFRICAN FILM - JOSEF GUGLER, JOSEPH GUGLER

"Josef Gugler invites his readers to 're-imagine Africa' by examining fifteen key films made by African directors and contrasting them with two very successful films on Africa, one from Hollywood, the other from apartheid South Africa. The films serve to highlight African directors' altogether different perspectives and introduce the primary concerns and issues that they address, from the recovery of African history to the struggle for majority rule in South Africa, from the fight against colonialism to the betrayals of independence and the neglect of the peasantry, with the position of women a recurrent theme." "The discussions of films are accompanied by reproductions of posters, photos of the directors during the shooting, and film frames illustrating key elements in the analysis. The book also discusses the novels of Andre Brink, Njabulo Ndebele, Ousmane Sembene and Jose Luandino Vieira, and a play of Wole Soyinka's translated to the screen."--BOOK JACKET. Learn More...
