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

Akowe Shina

I for say now. I look forward to reading the book. Not bragging but as an undergraduate I also wrote, directed and starred in a play for NTA Enugu in 1983 and the producer liked it so much that he nominated it for the national television festival. Unfortunately when I went to get a copy of the video for possible distribution I was told that an editor dubbed the tape with a new shoot due to the scarcity of stocks. Niyi Osundare told a similar loss of his tv play to resources-poor editors. I only have a tape of the radio version of my play. Proud to say that one of the stars of Nollywood, Blessing Nwosu, was nurtured in the traveling theatre company that I directed in my home town.

Oga Biko,There
is no "parapo" factor in Auteuring
Nollywood at all. I only attempted to complicate the
periodization issue in the interview but did not do any such
thing in the volume. I think you will find it a beautiful
experimentation with the auteur theory/philosophy
angle. 
I love the
essay you wrote with the Baudrillardian angle. Nice
nice!   Adeshina Afolayan, PhD

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!!!!
