In 2020, out of the twenty or so countries related to this study, more than half have at most one cinema theater in operation, and very few are able to regularly produce and distribute, not even one film per year. The production, distribution, exhibition of films, as well as technical industries, have existed only in a minority of these countries. In an attempt to understand this phenomenon, eighteen authors of fifteen different nationalities retrace its history and progress since 1960, laying out benchmarks on this little-addressed issue as it relates to the role of francophone African states vis-à-vis their national film industry. (Description translated from French)

***

En 2020, sur la vingtaine de pays concer- nés, plus de la moitié ne possèdent au plus qu’une seule salle de cinéma en activité, et rares sont ceux qui arrivent à produire et distribuer régulièrement ne serait-ce qu’un film par an. Production, distribution, exploitation des films, mais aussi industries techniques n’ont jamais existé que dans une minorité de ces pays. Pour tenter de comprendre le phénomène, dix-huit au- teurs de quinze nationalités différentes en retracent l’histoire et les cheminements depuis 1960, posant des jalons sur cette question peu traitée du rôle des États afri- cains francophones vis-à-vis de leur filière cinématographique nationale.
