Lecture: Nollywood and the Black Atlantic. On Kenneth Gyang’s “Confusion Na Wa” (2013)
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.
Didi Cheeka is an off-Nollywood filmmaker, critic and archivist-activist in Lagos.
Tunde Aladese is a writer, screenwriter and actress based in Lagos and Berlin. She is the star of “Confusion Na Wa”.
Vinzenz Hediger is professor of cinema studies at Goethe Universiy Frankfurt am Main.
