INTRODUCTION

The following videoagraphy of African-related films was developed over several years. The project arose from the request from school districts, community and small colleges, and universities for a source of recent videos available for rent or purchase. Michigan State University, African Studies Center has published a compendium of audio- visual materials about Africa in Africa on Film and Videotape: 1960- 1981. A second edition is forthcoming. This abbreviated format is meant to bridge the time lag between the two documents. In addition, the format of Videography for African Content is listen by distributor rather than by film title as in the Michigan State University format. Further, Videography for African Content does not evaluate the videos. It merely lists the titles.

This document lists my distributor the African content videos available for purchase. Other forms of audio-visual materials are not included in the document. Each citation indicates title, director, date of production, run time, and purchase price. Many of the distributors often rent the videos for a reduced price. The third line indicates the country or countries about which the video is placed.

An up-dated version is available from the University of Wisconsin, African Studies Program, electronic bulletin board. Interested patrons may down load the document as required by calling (608) 262-9689, 24 hours a day.
