This is a 1st Call for Papers for a conference on the contemporary and historical role played by women in the film, television and video industries in Africa.

Sadly, such immense contributions by women are underrepresented, both in industry debates and in academic research.

Conference of the Gender-Studies Section (Medien, Öffentlichkeit und Geschlecht) of the German Communications Science Association (DGPuK) Potsdam, September 22.9..2011 to 24.9..2011.
