Description

This work introduces the reader to the rich film production of the French-speaking countries outside France, commonly called Francophonia, comprised of Belgium, Switzerland, Quebec, the Caribbean, the Maghreb and many sub-Saharan countries. The book brings together films that might otherwise be divided by questions of race, gender, genre, period or nation, and therefore opens valuable insights for further comparative study of an unusually diverse corpus of films. Individual countries, film-makers and films are treated separately in order to emphasize their specific identities or those which are represented in their films.
