- Curating Africa in the Age of Film Festivals draws on fifteen years of practice-based research and multi-sited fieldwork at film festivals across Africa, Europe, and North America. It is a substantial monograph (270 pages) that offers the first scholarly exploration of the vital role played by film festivals in curating Africa, African film, African filmmakers and African audiences. Fieldwork included: approximately 100 interviews; participant observation; surveys of festival directors, audiences, and filmmakers; and control group discussions. This was the inaugural book in Palgrave’s ‘Framing Film Festivals’ series, and has been positively reviewed, widely cited and prescribed by Film Studies scholars.
