Description

This comprehensive study examines the historical development of South African cinema through 1988, exploring how films reflected and shaped the nation's social realities. The book analyses the entire film industry from domestic production to international location shoots, revealing the complex tensions between English-language and Afrikaans-language cinema, and films produced for different racial audiences. Beyond individual films, the author investigates the financial infrastructure, marketing strategies, and institutional frameworks that governed South African filmmaking. By contextualising cinema within apartheid-era politics and society, this Routledge publication provides essential insight into how film served as both mirror and participant in one of history's most contested periods. Film scholars, historians, and students of cinema studies will find detailed examination of production practices, distribution networks, and the ideological dimensions of South African film culture.
