Abstract
Traditional african filmmakers, considered themselves part of an emerging third world cinema and used film as a tool of revolution, a means of political education to be used for transforming consciousness, however now there is a new generation of filmmakers that have been supposedly "freed from the obligation to convey an ideological message." Yet, is this the time to move away from the traditional? Has there been enough progress or heightened awareness to relax into entertainment purely for entertainments sake? There is still an urgent need for african filmmakers as part of the "cultural elite," to act in their essential roles and assist in the formulation, cultivation and direction of specific nationalist conversations.
