Nollywood Babylon Babylone à Nollywood

Chronicles the wild world of "Nollywood," a term coined in the early '90s to describe the world's fastest-growing national cinema, the Nigerian film industry. The film delves first-hand into Nigeria's explosive homegrown movie industry, producing 2500 films a year, most for under $10,000. Peppered with interviews with producers, directors and actors, film clips and buoyed by a rousing score fusing Afropop and traditional sounds, Nollywood Babylon celebrates the distinctive power of Nigerian cinema now bursting beyond the borders of Africa.

""L'industrie cinématographique du Nigeria, Nollywood, est la troisième en importance au monde et cette implacable force économique et culturelle qui a balayé le continent telle une tempête déborde à présent les frontières de l'Afrique. Le cinéma de Nollywood est né dans les marchés des rues de Lagos, principale métropole du Nigeria. Imperturbables devant les maigres recettes et les budgets plus que modestes, les cinéastes entrepreneurs ont créé un cinéma audacieux, inventif et follement populaire qui a fait de Nollywood l'obsession des Nigérians. Dans ces films, le vaudou et la magie s'amalgament aux récits urbains, illustrant la friction cinétique du mysticisme traditionnel et de la culture moderne dont les Nigérians sont quotidiennement témoins. Le long métrage documentaire Nollywood Babylon relate l'histoire du succès phénoménal de l'industrie cinématographique du Nigeria."--Site web ONF."

"Nollywood Babylon is a feature documentary about the explosive popularity of Nigeria's movie industry. The film drops viewers into the chaos of Lagos' Idumota market. Here, among the bustling stalls, films are sold and unlikely stars are born. Unfazed by low budgets, enterprising filmmakers create a brash, inventive and wildly popular form of B-Movie that has Nigerians Nollywood-obsessed. In these films, voodoo and magic infuse urban stories, reflecting the collision of traditional mysticism and modern culture that Nigerians experience every day. Ben Addelman and Samir Mallal, present an electric vision of a modern African metropolis and a revealing look at the powerhouse that is Nigerian cinema."
