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’:
