Cinémas d'Afrique des années 2000 (Les): perspectives critiques by Olivier Barlet
The relative erasure of African cinemas on the international scene during the 2000s, notably from black Africa, does not mask the profound ruptures in their work: a new relationship with reality, new aesthetic strategies and the emergence of a postcolonial popular cinema.
Drawing from key films that have marked this decade, Olivier Barlet, who follows the day-to-day cinematographic events of Africa and the Caribbean, engages with the critical questions that have been posed by these evolutions. He also brings a personal and passionate vision to the work.
In relationship with the multiple references of works from the various artistic disciplines in the Africultures review, Cinémas d'Afrique des années 2000 : Perspectives critiques is an indispensable comprehensive survey that counters preconceived ideas and enriches the approach to the study of film criticism.
