Decolonising Film
and Screen Studies

 

‘African Screen Worlds: Decolonising Film and Screen Studies’ was a European Research Council-funded research project led by Professor Lindiwe Dovey and hosted at SOAS University of London (from June 2019 to March 2025). Through producing films, edited books, articles, and toolkits, and through curating workshops, conversations, film screenings and panel discussions, the project explored in particular Africans’ contributions to the diverse, complex screen worlds that make up audiovisual cultures in our contemporary moment. It was also interested in putting African cinemas into conversation with other regional cinemas to theorise global screen worlds in more inclusive, nuanced ways.
