520 "Tracing the rise and development of the Ghanaian video
film industry between 1985 and 2010, Sensational Movies
examines video movies as seismographic devices recording a
culture and society in turmoil. This book captures the
dynamic process of popular filmmaking in Ghana as a new
medium for the imagination and tracks the interlacing of
the medium's technological, economic, social, cultural,
and religious aspects. Stepping into the void left by the
defunct state film industry, video movies negotiate the
imaginaries deployed by state cinema on the one hand and
Christianity on the other. Birgit Meyer analyzes Ghanaian
video as a powerful, sensational form. Colliding with the
state film industry's representations of culture, these
movies are indebted to religious notions of divination and
revelation. Exploring the format of "film as revelation,"
Meyer unpacks the affinity between cinematic and popular
Christian modes of looking and showcases the transgressive
potential haunting figurations of the occult. In this
brilliant study, Meyer offers a deep, conceptually
innovative analysis of the role of visual culture within
the politics and aesthetics of religious world making."--
