Larkin, Brian. “The Grounds of Circulation: Rethinking African Film andMedia”. Politique Africaine (Paris, France: 1981) 153, no 1 (2019): 105‑26. https://doi.org/10.3917/polaf.153.0105.

“In both film production and the scholarly analyses of African screen media, there has been a recognition that something has fundamentally changed. The mode of productive forces has shifted, the aesthetic forms they produce are different, and the technical, financial and institutional infrastructures that organize film production are not reproducing themselves but are in the midst of a deep transformation. The task for scholars has been how to think this change and the split between these new forces and older forms of African popular cinema.”
