Rezensionen

"Dovey's book provides a crucial intervention by incorporating the responses of actual audiences, instead of the audiences constructed by film texts or assumed by scholars. ... Essential reading for all film scholars, Curating Africa in the Age of Film Festivals enriches our understanding of African cinema and the event of the film festival and opens up exciting areas for future research." (Carmela Garritano, Research in African Literatures, Vol. 47 (3), 2016)
