Lecture & Film “Black Atlantic Cinema”<\/em><\/p>\n

Lecture: Didi Cheeka, Vinzenz Hediger<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lecture: <\/strong>Nollywood and the Black Atlantic. On Kenneth Gyang’s “Confusion Na Wa” (2013)
\n<\/em><\/strong>Rather than wait for government support or European money Nigerian filmmakers in the 1990s started a film industry from scratch and on their own terms. Initially influenced by Brazilian soap operas Nigerian video films told stories with a local focus which soon found a global audience. Kenneth Gyang’s “Confusion Na Wa” (2013) is increasingly emerging as one of the most influential films of “New Nollywood”. In a conversation with Tunde Aladese, one of its stars, Didi Cheeka and Vinzenz Hediger address the diasporic dimensions of the film’s Transatlantic references.
\nDidi Cheeka<\/strong> is an off-Nollywood filmmaker, critic and archivist-activist in Lagos.
\nTunde Aladese<\/strong> is a writer, screenwriter and actress based in Lagos and Berlin. She is the star of “Confusion Na Wa”.
\nVinzenz Hediger<\/strong> is professor of cinema studies at Goethe Universiy Frankfurt am Main.<\/p>\n

Film: CONFUSION NA WA (NG 2013. D: Kenneth Gyang)
\n<\/strong>Inspired by Fela Kuti’s song “Confusion”, CONFUSION NA WA tells the story of a group of people whose lives become intertwined over the course of a day.<\/p>\n
