African Filmmaking is the 1st accomplished research in English linking filmmaking within the Maghreb with that during the 12 self reliant states of francophone West Africa. Roy Armes examines quite a lot of concerns universal to filmmakers during the zone: the socio-political context, filmmaking in Africa prior to the mid-1960s, the involvement of African and French governments, questions of nationwide and cultural id, the difficulty of globalization, and, in particular, the paintings of the filmmakers themselves over the last forty years, with specific emphasis on more youthful filmmakers. Armes bargains a wealth of data and a different viewpoint at the background and way forward for African filmmaking.

During the 1970s, production continued in these three states, and filmmakers from a further eight states produced features: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, Mali, Mauritania and Niger. Chad and Togo followed belatedly in the 1990s, and Didier Ouenangare co-directed the first feature film in the Central African Republic in 2003. In the Maghreb, feature filmmaking began in Algeria in 1965 with Ahmed Rachedi’s masterly documentary Dawn of the Damned/L’Aube des damnés, which was quickly followed by eight fictional features in the 1960s, among them Mohamed Lakhdar Hamina’s The Wind from the Aurès/Le Vent des Aurès (1966).
