Prominent Gambian filmmaker
and scholar, Prince Bubacarr Aminata Sankanu, has his groundbreaking academic
article titled “Rediscovering Frantz Fanon at Scotland’s Africa in Motion film
Festival” published in the Spring 2016 edition of NECSUS European Journal of Media Studies.
The NECSUS European Journal of
Media Studies, published by Amsterdam University Press, is an international
peer- review journal linked to the European Network For Cinema and Media
Studies. The journal is multidisciplinary and strives to bring together the
best work in the field of media studies across the humanities and social
sciences.
Sankanu said the article is part
of his “passion for the advancement of scholarship on African cinema.” The article is also part of his PhD research.
He said he is expressing gratitude
to the editors Professor Dr. Mjijke de Valck of the Utrecht University in
Holland and Dr. Skadi Loist of the University of Rostock in Germany and the
NECSUS editorial board members “for accepting my article after 10 months of
rigorous peer editorial process.”
“It is the first
Africa-related film festival review to be published on NECSUS. The article
brings out the relevance of Frantz Fanon for the Pan African film in this 21st
Century,” said Mr. Sankanu, who founded The Gambia’s premiere international
film festival, CINEKAMBIYA International Film Festival (CIFF).
