Established in 2009, the journal publishes three times annually. We invite theoretical essays, reviews, and case studies and comparative analyses of cinemas in Africa through their historical and contemporary legacies. The growing African cinematic society is our canvas, as it interrogates filmmakers’ conceptualizations of space, time, being and identity. What is/are Africa/s and what is/are African cinema/s, offer pertinent starting points. Critical reflections on African cinema and emergent interdisciplinary knowledges are also welcome.


We recognize the shifting paradigms that have defined and continue to define African cinemas and production practices.


Previous issues have published articles and special issues on North, West, Southern and East African and Maghreb films. The language regions have included Francophone, Lusophone, Arabophone and Anglophone productions. Marketing and product placement, translation and dubbing, political economy and economics, and production practices, all fall in our ambit. Reception and audience analysis, film criticism and exhibition and distribution, are of interest.


The aim is to create a forum for debate that will promote interdisciplinarity between cinema and other visual and rhetorical forms of representation and production. Interviews with directors that draw out theories from practice are also invited.


A self-reflexive analysis of the first ten years of the journal that aims to enable Africa-resident scholars, in the context of the global discipline, is free to access:  ‘Africa, film theory and globalization: Reflections on the first ten years of the Journal of African Cinema’: https://intellectdiscover.com/content/journals/10.1386/jac_00041_1 <https://intellectdiscover.com/content/journals/10.1386/jac_00041_1>
