Tufts UniversityPresents

*The Nollywood Diaspora: A Video Genre*

with Jonathan Haynes (Long Island University)

The Nigerian film industry is now the third largest in the world and reaches far beyond Nigeria's borders, although not through the normal channels of international film distribution. As the international dimensions of Nollywood have grown, many films with foreign settings have appeared, made as collaborations between the Lagos-based industry and a Nigerian expatriate community. These films constitute a genre, which this presentation will define and set in the context of Nollywood aesthetics.

Thursday, February 25th, Tisch Library Room 304 at 6:00pm.

All are welcome!!
