African Women in Cinema addressing the effects of globalization, glocalization, internationalization and other global matters

"…we have to make sacrifices in order to live in this world…we have to know that our own behavior will affect generations to come.”--Wanuri Kahiu

"This performance protests against the deterioration of the ozone layer due to the greenhouse gas emissions, the main chemo-physical element responsible for the overheating of the blue planet, which should always be green, without air pollution, and free of ultraviolet (UV) radiation."--Julie Djikey
 

"Unemployed, without hope, and many looking to leave the country for want of better options… Young men are swelling the ranks of gangs that sow violence in Zinder, my home town, in Niger….They style themselves after black American hotshots from the ghettos: heavy chains around their necks, T-shirts bearing images of Hollywood stars, strutting around in low-slung faded jeans. They make themselves known in various spectacular, and sometimes tragic, ways, feeding the climate of fear and hysteria in Zinder."--Aicha Macky

Migrancy and displacement: African women of the moving image have a particular concern for the plight of the migrant, heightened by the dramatic impact of migrancy and its consequences and effects in many African countries.
