Cinema in Africa: a clean start and renewal?

The diversified revolution in sub-Saharan Africa is centered in Nigeria and Morocco has this role for Maghreb. In this country, more than half of the income comes from two diversifications, one being Casablanca (14 screens) in 2002 and Marrakesh (nine screens in 2007). Both belong to the Mega Rama Group, which operates 60 movie theaters in France, and we plan to open two new colorful cinemas in Rabat and Tangier. The director of Megarama also plans to open a movie theater in Algeria, but in this economically planned country foreign investors have to pass a true assault course. There are 424 movie theaters since independence in Algeria, but today this number has been reduced to 30, in fact less than half of the movies being managed in a devastating situation is actually. There were about 100 movie theaters in Tunisia in 1960, but now there are only 60 movie theaters. Many of them are receiving public subsidies and operate only a part of the year.

The Moroccan example seems to indicate that only multiplexing can promote the operation of the movie. In this country, the number of viewers has declined by more than 20% between 2007 and 2009, and this trend continues in 2010 as well. The general public is mainly looking at a single screen cinema. These cinemas declined 22% between 2008 and 2009. At the same time, two or three screen mini complex facilities were the most effective against the economic downturn, only a decrease of 11%. However, in Morocco the two diverse observations grew big and grew 17%. At the same time there is still a tendency to close the single screen cinema, which is the reason for the decrease in the number of viewers and the result. The number of screens in Morocco increased from 95 in 2008 to 77 in 2009 and 70 in 2010.

Masses watching movies seem to be concentrated in the big city center centered on the two multiplexes, but contrary to people's ideas Hollywood movies are not the most useful. Market share of Morocco movies has increased significantly between 2008 and 2009

In this course we will look at African films and movies made in Africa. It places the movie in the social, cultural and aesthetic context of sub-Saharan Africa, from the colony to the colonial era, from the west to the southern Africa, from documentaries, novels, art films to television I will. Contrary to the South African film 'African Jim' (1959), we start with La Noire de ... (1966), an epoch-making movie from African film 'Father' Ousmane Sembene.

African movies are African filmmaking. It dates back to the early 20th century when film reels were the main film technology. During the colonial period, Africans only lived in the works of Caucasian, colonial, and Western movie makers, and negatively drew blacks as foreigners "others". There are differences between northern Africa and sub-Saharan films, and movies from different countries, so there is no African film. The Egyptian cinema is one of the oldest movie theaters in the world, the first film by the Lumiere brothers in 1896 and the first Egyptian short documentary taken in 1907. In the 1940s, the boom period of the 1950s and 1960s was regarded as the golden age. The film industry in Nigeria is the largest film industry in Africa, from the perspective of value, annual movie sales volume, revenue, popularity.
