Le cinéma d’Afrique noire contemporaine: une impossible décolonisation? by Fouhba, H

“…Afin de capter des financements auprès des bailleurs de fonds et autres mécènes culturels, ces cinéastes contemporains réalisent des films qui présentent l’Afrique comme ce continent n’ayant véritablement pas évolué du point de vue anthropologique. Une Afrique mue par la « primitivité » au 21e siècle, et dans laquelle sorcellerie, mariages précoces, excision, sous-scolarisation des jeunes, non-scolarisation de la femme, délinquances juvéniles, défauts des états civils (actes de mariage, de naissance et de décès), maladies hydriques et l’insalubrité… constituent le lot quotidien des populations.…”
