FESPACO@50 and beyond: Dialectics of an emancipatory project
This article is a contribution to the celebration the 50th anniversary of FESPACO. It is divided in two major parts. The first takes stock of some of the most important debates that have traversed the festival since its inception, offers a sense of the significance of the festival and its experience, briefly reviews the Black Camera volumes on FESPACO and introduces the unique essays commissioned for this Special Issue. The second half examines three important issues related to the future of FESPACO and African cinema more generally: the centrality of histories and memories with an examination of the new Classics section of the festival, the extraversion and dependency of the political economies of African cinema, their impact on the forms, circulation and reception of African cinema, and their significance for FESPACO, and, finally the urgent need to address questions of sovereignty and territorial integrity on the continent as sine qua non for the very existence, survival and blossoming of an African film and audiovisual industry, liable to continue and potentially complete the unfinished emancipatory project at the heart of the festival.
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.
