Kwaku Ananse | A Film

From Emergent Africa Sat Nov 1 2014, 00:33:00

From Akosua Adoma Owusu covered earlier:

Her goals:

...in her own words, is to "through my filmmaking... open audiences up to a new dialogue between the continents of Africa and America; one that incorporates more than just stereotypes, but includes both conventionalized and un-conventionalized discourses of race in its service. By creating complex contradictions."

But that's not all; she also hopes that, through her films, "a new meaning can emerge and be deposited into the universal consciousness. If I can do this by creating an experience for the audience that enables them to experience what it is like to find oneself, while being foreign in a community, then perhaps I can help that new meaning come to light."via Shadow and Act
