The con tributors' running dialogue about the contemporary repertoire of African and diasporic filmmaking resituates the book's opening analysis in the complexity of the present and in anticipation of the future. Whereas an account of the dual influences of capitalism and colonialism helps us understand the contin ued lack of resources for African films and the profit-driven marketplace that hinders their distribution, it also proceeds in part under the active-passive logic that underlies the colonial project itself.
