As a point of comparison, two additional films on Africa--one from Hollywood, the other from apartheid South Africa--serve to highlight African directors' altogether different perspectives. </p><p>Gugler's interpretation considers the financial and technical difficulties of African film production, the intended audiences in Africa and the West, the constraints on distribution, and the critical reception of the films.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Josef Gugler is Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center for Contemporary African Studies at the University of Connecticut.</p>
