Aims & Scope


The Journal of African Cinemasexplores the interactions of visual and 
verbal narratives in films from and about Africa, no matter where they 
are made. It encourages studies about production, reception and 
audiences, interpretation and theory, and history and technology. The 
journal recognises the shifting paradigms that have defined and continue 
to define African cinemas in relation to cinema everywhere, within 
diverse African languages and cultures. The editors invite papers on the 
perception and identity/identities of Africa and its peoples represented 
in film, in isolation or relation to other cinemas globally. The journal 
aims to create a forum for debate that will promote inter-disciplinarity 
between cinema and other visual and rhetorical forms of representation.
