    I am not in a position to make specific suggestions. However, I have posted
    a large number of links to resources about African Film on my film review
    site Reviews and Reflections. You might find them useful as background
    material.

    Since I do not have expertise in African Film, but am maintaining the list
    as a public service, I would appreciate any suggested additions or
    corrections.
