The twelfth edition of
Africa in the
Picture, with as main theme “Crisis, what crisis?”, will be held from 9
to 14 September 2009 . During the festival, more than 50 films produced in
Africa or by directors with African roots will be shown in Amsterdam and six
other Dutch cities.
Africa in the Picture’s founder and former director, Mariët Bakker, will
give a talk on
The African Documentary at a seminar hosted by the African Studies
Centre on 3 September 2009 in Leiden. During the talk she will show clips
from recent documentaries and from the Africa in the Picture archive.
To coincide with the seminar and the film festival, the Library,
Documentation and Information Department of the African Studies Centre has
compiled the present web dossier. The dossier is based on the ASC library
collection and is a sequel to the dossier on
African Cinema compiled in September 2003
Part of the Africa in the Picture film archive is held by the ASC
library, which also maintains its own film collection of more than
1000 titles.
Specific types of film available in the collection include notably:
-
animated cartoons -
anthropological films -
documentary films -
educational films -
feature films
The web dossier contains a selection of titles of books, articles and
documentaries on cinema in Africa published since 2003, the cut-off date of
the first web dossier. All the materials listed are available in the
library. Each title links directly to the corresponding record in the
library’s online catalogue, which
provides a more detailed description of all titles as well as abstracts of
many articles and edited works. The dossier concludes with a selection of
links to African film festival web sites.
