Résumé : Nollywood has grown by leaps and bounds. It has not only generated academic, cultural, scientific, and economic interests at national and transnational levels but created a global following that has now made it a stakeholder in World Cinema. By 2000, Nollywood had become not only Africa's largest movie industry but at the rate of 2,000 films a year, the second largest in the world, coming only after the Indian cinema. Given the platformization of Nollywood, we are sanguine that Understanding Nigeria's Nollywood: Theoretical and Empirical Illuminations will provide film scholars, film critics, film archivists, film curators, and enthusiasts, among others, critical lenses to view and possibly further interrogate the burgeoning African film industry. The book aims to deepen the global understanding of Nollywood, including its art, science, business models, and the centripetal and centrifugal forces that tuck at its heart.
