Post-Colonial African Cinema

African Cinema: Negotiating Post-Colonial Identities
In this course we will study how African films from 1967 and beyond address the rapidly changing and conflicting cultural identities of post-colonial Africans. Through a combination of film and African Studies readings, paired with screenings of films from East, West, and South Africa, students will come to understand the impact of colonialism on African culture and will respond critically to how these changes are reflected in cinematic representations of post-colonial African lives. Assignments will include a screening journal, a research paper, and a group presentation.
