African Film: Re-Imagining a Continent

History is an important element of any undertaking relating to African art and culture and the story of African film, predictably, is the ‘story of the white man’, with the native African as the listener, the audience or an appendix. In African Film, Josef Gugler recovers/re-imagines and re-represents the historical experiences of Africans before, during and after colonialism through a perspective that celebrates the peculiarities and diversity of the continent.
