Abstract
In 1999, the French Government announced the dissolution of the Ministry of Cooperation into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1999, thereby calling into question the status of African cinemas in French policy. This article examines changes and continuities in French policy with respect to African cinema, highlighting France's strategic interest in terms of its global film policy and politics in the post-1990 period. It explores French interest in African cinema and how this interest can be situated within the Franco-American audio-visual disputes, and it discusses the role of new technologies in African film-making within this context. The article concludes that despite notable new initiatives, continuity is on the whole more evident than change in French audio-visual policy towards Africa.
