Auteuring Nollywood. Critical Perspectives On The Figurine

Beginning From An Auteur Standpoint, This Book Interrogates Extant Cinematic Re-presentation Of African And Nigerian Postcolonial Realities In Nollywood. It Makes A Case, Using Kunle Afolayans The Figurine, For A Critical Space-clearing Gesture Around The Notion Of A Neo-nollywood, Which Transcends The Formulaic Cinematic Re-presentation Of African And Nigeriam Realities To Embrace A Visionary And Philosophic Rearticualtion Of The Role Of Filmmaking, And Of Nollywood, In The Nigerian Imagination. The Idea Of Neo-nollywood, And A Visionary Director, Therefore Stands At The Core Of A Cinematic Production Process That Challenges, Disturbs And Stimulates Perceptions Of Current And Future African Identities.
