Olivier Barlet is a member of the Syndicat FranÇais de la Critique de CinÉma, a member of the African Federation of Film Critics, a delegate for Africa at the Cannes Festival Critics' Week, and a film critic for Africultures.
"For a long while Olivier Barlet has been a sure- footed guide in
the rugged terrain of African cinema. Now in a fast-moving sequence
of vivid reports, he brings us close to an amazing array of films
and situations across the continent in this century. Africa has
broken out of its 'exotic' isolation. Its films, whose striking
styles he sketches, participate in cultural and political debates
that go beyond Africa. He makes us pay attention to what they say
and, more important, what they show."
--Dudley Andrew, R. Seldon Rose Professor of Film and Comparative
Literature, Yale University
