The genre and the non-genre in the camerounais cinema: a typology

What if the apparent chaos of Cameroonian cinema concealed the emergence of a new genre?Through a detailed and rigorous analysis, this book explores the complexity of Cameroonian filmmakers' relationship with the notion of film genre. Between ignorance, deliberate rejection, and a desire for transcendence, a practice marked by vagueness-but rich in meaning-emerges. By interviewing filmmakers, critics, and film enthusiasts, the author offers an illuminating typology of genre and non-genre in Cameroon, and invites us to rethink the canons in light of local realities. An original and necessary look at the aesthetic, cultural, and sociological challenges of Cameroonian filmmaking.
