The cinema in Nigeria

Françoise Balogun (Author)
"The story of the cinema in Nigeria started in colonial times and has remained a catalogue of tense struggles against economic and bureaucratic forces originating from that period. It has been a long battle for survival through improvisation and entrepreneurship which have established the most unique funding pattern for film making on the African continent. The Cinema in Nigeria provides a situation account with details of the efforts by individuals who have propped up the Nigerian film industry and supported it with flights into folklore and mythology and occasional sorties into contemporary themes"-- Page 4 of cover
