Ecrans d'Afrique
Ecrans d'Afrique: Revue Internationale de Cinema Television et Video (also known as African Screen), founded by African filmmakers in Burkina Faso in 1992 during a period of intense worldwide interest and commentary on African T.V. and film, explored all aspects of African film production.[1] It, along with its many contemporaries, sought to ameliorate an intellectual climate which suffered from a dearth of commentary on African film.[1] A corollary of the journal's efforts was to improve worldwide exposure and access to African films - it was linked to the Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO), the continent's leading film festival, from its inception.[1] Ecrans d'Afrique has also been lauded for its wide gaze covering the whole of the African diaspora and for its excellent coverage of Caribbean film developments.
