Questioning African Cinema: Conversations With Filmmakers by Nwachukwu Frank Ukadike

4.0

Although the book is a series of interviews with great African film directors, their struggles to find funding in countries with governments which see no value in funding the arts is relevant to creatives in non-African developing nations too, such as the US. The range of opinions, too, provides a lot of food for thought, despair, and hope. After having read this and Black African Cinema, I'd love to see Ukadike write another book about African cinema since since digital video, streaming, downloads and alternatives to FESPACO have proliferated since this book's publication.
