Abstract

Mobile cinema projects in Africa reach as far back as the colonial times. Today, new and lighter technologies have made mobile cinema easier to implement. The Cinéma Numérique Ambulant (CNA) project has been in activity in Benin, Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso since 2001. This article discusses CNA's impact on a rural audience in Niger.
