Intellect is delighted to announce the publication of the first issue of Volume 2 of the Journal of African Media Studies (JAMS). Offering new perspectives on African film, the contributors to this special issue explore largely unexamined audio-visual forms, films, institutions, contexts, infrastructure and concepts. Film festivals, informal distribution structures and mobile cinema projects are examined in a range of articles, which seek to promote understanding of the screen media of Africa. http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-issue,id=1809/ Contents - Issue 2.1 Editorial Towards an interpretation of Screen Media in Africa Author: Lindiwe Dovey Page start: 3 Negotiating identities: representations of childhood in Senegalese cinema Author: Marina Bradbury Page start: 9 Questions of source in African cinema: the heritage of the griot in Dani Kouyaté's films Author: Kate Bolgar Smith Page start: 25 Bizet in Khayelitsha: U-Carmen eKhayelitsha as audio-visual transculturation Authors: James Davies and Lindiwe Dovey Page start: 39 Animation as socio-political commentary: an analysis of the animated films of Congolese director Jean Michel Kibushi Author: Paula Callus Page start: 55 Alternative African cinemas: a case study of Rwanda Author: Piotr A.
