African Cinema: Queer Economies Rise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783384234919)

African cinema is experiencing a surge in LGBTQ+ narratives, driven by a growing "queer economy." This refers to the production, distribution, and consumption of films by and for queer audiences. Filmmakers are finding new avenues: independent funding models, online platforms, and film festivals focused on queer stories. This rise isn't just about representation; it's about economic empowerment. LGBTQ+ creators are building sustainable careers, challenging traditional narratives, and fostering community. While societal hurdles remain, African cinema is proving to be a powerful platform for queer voices to not only exist, but thrive
