THE FUTURE OF
AFRICAN CONTENT CREATION
“Citizens must be given alternatives through images of self because it will give them the option to form their own views on life around them. In that way they won’t lose hope that they can be actors in the transformation of their own realities. This is where image plays such a capital role. The entrenchment of African Cinema on local soil is an emergency which nothing must divert from and upon which Africa’s cultural survival depends” – Gaston Kabore
