South African Cinema 1896-2010

Substantial parts of South African film history haven't been documented. This monograph represents the first broadly based text which encompasses the history of South African cinema in its entirety. It is a unique and pioneering text which addresses a palpable paucity of serious academic literature on this subject in South Africa and elsewhere. The significance of this publication cannot be overemphasized as it puts on the world cinema map a national production of considerable weight, neglected in the past by the international scholarly community, critics and the media.
