尼日利亚流行视频电影业的出现表明，有必要对非洲电影领域进行批判性的重新评估。录像电影现在在数百万非洲人的家中观看，他们从未接触过非洲电影摄影师制作的赛璐珞电影，甚至可能对此感兴趣。这些电影由自学成才的艺术家制作，不属于当前学术电影批评的范式。本文探讨了这样一部电影作为一个文化叙事引用的伊博当地医生在民族志采访。对这部电影的分析将其与采访中发展的文化联系起来。这些联系包括一个本土的疯狂模式，全球资本主义的流行代表，以及尼日利亚的社会经济条件，因为尼日利亚人解释他们。
The emergence of a popular video movie industry in Nigeria reveals a need for critical reevaluation of the field of African cinema. Video movies are now viewed in the homes of millions of Africans who never had access to, or perhaps even interest in, the celluloid film productions of African cinematographers. Produced by self-trained artists, these movies fall outside current paradigms of academic film criticism. This paper examines one such movie as a cultural narrative cited by an Igbo native doctor in an ethnographic interview. Analysis of the movie positions it in relation to the cultural links developed in the interview. These links include an indigenous model of madness, popular representations of global capitalism, and socioeconomic conditions in Nigeria as Nigerians interpret them.
