Abstract:Contents: Part I: Space; Part 2: Character; Part 3: Narrative. Analyzing art house films from the African continent and the African diaspora, this book showcases a new generation of filmmakers with African origins from political, aesthetic, and spectatorship perspectives. The book focuses on art house cinema and discusses commercial African cinema; enlarges our understanding of African film to include thematic and aesthetic influence; highlights aesthetic and political aspects including racial identity, women's issues, and diaspora; and features selected stills integral to the filmic analysis.
