CONTEMPORARY LUSOPHONE AFRICAN FILM • TRANSNATIONAL COMMUNITIES AND ALTERNATIVE MODERNITIES • Edited by Paulo de Medeiros & Livia Apa • 2021 Routledge 254 pgs • Texts Paulo de Medeiros, Ute Fendler, Marissa J. Moorman, Maria do Carmo Piçarra, Livia Apa, Robert Stock, Hilary Owen, Paulo Cunha, Catarina Laranjeiro, Raquel Schefer, Carolin Overhoff Ferreira and Juscielle Oliveira • Offering a range of critical perspectives on a vibrant body of films, this collection of essays engages with questions specific to the various cinemas and films addressed while putting forward an argument for their inclusion in current debates on world cinema. The collection brings together 11 chapters by recognized scholars, who analyze a variety of films and videos from Angola, Cape Verde, Guiné-Bissau, and Mozambique. It also includes an interview with Pedro Pimenta, one of the most distinguished African film festival organizers. Drawing on various theoretical perspectives, the volume strives to reverse the relative invisibility that has afflicted these cinemas, arguing that most, if not all, Lusophone films are transnational in all aspects of production, acting, and reception. The book stresses the need to pay attention to the significance of African film, and Lusophone African film in particular, within the developing field of world cinema.
