- Women in African Cinema is the first book in the fields of African and film studies to engage with the role of African women as filmmakers. It includes a significant corpus of films and filmmakers never before discussed elsewhere. It is the result of a decade-long collaboration between the authors and the locating, viewing, translating, restoring, and screening of hard-to-access films often took years. The variety of case studies required extensive knowledge, gained from in-person interviews with filmmakers and visits (often as jury members) to film festivals across the African continent between 2009 and 2019.
