abstract |
Following a one-year pilot project on the reception of Nollywood in the London region,
an international team headed by the Open University, UK, is now embarking on a wider
project, which will widen the range of diasporic contexts to incorporate data collection
from European cities outside the UK where Nigerian videos are distributed and consumed,
such as Dublin, Paris and Berlin. This paper will report on our efforts to address
the gaps in the present knowledge and evaluation of Nollywood in France, in response
to Barrot's challenge that his book on Nollywood (2005:6) was but an "incomplete and
subjective" study on a largely unknown phenomenon. It will consider the reception
of Nollywood films, focusing on the Paris region and using Nigerian networks such
as NIDO France and the Paris-based France-Nigeria Association. Based on questionnaire
and interviews' analysis and survey of popular markets such as Chateau Rouge in Paris,
it will focus on the reasons attracting viewers to Nollywood and the impact of Nigerian
video-films on language learning and cultural practices. |
