Abstract

The 2019 Oscar winner, Parasite attracted millions to South Korean cinemas even before its success in Hollywood. Nigerian cinema is also growing, with local movies topping the theatrical box office and new cinemas being built. Meanwhile, in South Africa, feature film production and cinema attendance are declining without significant transformation of access to the means of film production or to distribution and exhibition. Practical propositions, including the implementation of quotas and taxes, are presented as remedies for the survival of South African cinema, particularly in relation to content creation and the expansion of the exhibition infrastructure.

南非影院:寄生虫，韩国作为生存的典范

期刊介绍： The Journal of African Cinemas will explore the interactions of visual and verbal narratives in African film. It recognizes the shifting paradigms that have defined and continue to define African cinemas. Identity and perception are interrogated in relation to their positions within diverse African film languages. The editors are seeking papers that expound on the identity or identities of Africa and its peoples represented in film. The aim is to create a forum for debate that will promote inter-disciplinarity between cinema and other visual and rhetorical forms of representation.
