Fri, Apr 18, 7pm, Swift Hall, 3^rd Floor, 1025 E 58^th St.

On the occasion of Wakaliga Uganda's exhibition at the Renaissance Society, join us for an expansive discussion with novelist and scholar Akin Adesokan and other participants to be announced. In his multidisciplinary work, Adesokan has explored conceptual patterns in Nollywood and African cinema and the cultural consequences of globalization, among many other subjects. While reflecting on Wakaliga Uganda's movies and methods, this evening program considers the Kampala-based film collective’s work in relation to larger movements in African cinema and grassroots filmmaking.
