Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - https://vimeo.com/255070359 Focus on Nollywood

Thanks for sharing, Gloria. Ken must be disappointed that you did not film any trash in the background though you chose a posh part of Lagos for this purpose.

I look forward to reading Shina's book too though his choice to focus on his parapo may limit the appeal of the book on a national phenomenon.

Gloria should be cautious about ingoring postmodernist theory given that Derrida creditef his African cultural backgroynd with inspiring his decobstruction discourse. The saying that the author is dead simply means long live the critic because the author cannot dictate the reception.

Here is an essay that I wrote on Nollywood highlighting its technological inovations and taking Baudrillard seriously

Ken,
That is a real
good compliment -  coming from a  renowned specialist in
the field of African cinema.
The Lagos shots
were done around 8.00am on a Sunday . That is why the

streets were
clear. This gave me the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of
Lagos from another angle.
 
Special
commendation  to Governors Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode for
facilitating  such a

clean and
beautiful city.





The interview
took place at Maryland, Lagos about a week before.

Dr. Afolayan
 had one minute notice!!!!

Hey folks, this is a video on
Nollywood made by our own Gloria and adeshina afolayan.
Gloria is being modest in not telling us, but I just had
time to start viewing it and loved it.
Everyone needs to click on the link
and enjoy these two smart people discussing the wonderful
topic, and enjoy the long takes of lagos in the
process
