Reposted from @kazeemadegboyegakola Tunde Kelani is arguably one of the most prolific filmmakers in Africa. And perhaps, he could rub shoulders with Hitchcock and Griffith if he lived in their times. This is not because of his notorious penchant for spatiotemporal reversal of the material plasticity of sound, movement, and imaginary construction in the film of the past. Rather, it is because of his authorial stature in the illusionary fantasy of film reality, one that both Siegfried Kracaeur and Andre Bazin defended with all their intellectual capacities before their death. Kèlání’s talent has continued to garnish the insatiable minds yearning for more from Nollywood and his bank of cultural knowledge. Kèlání is one of the artistic representations of the Yoruba beautiful but ignored culture. What else could be part of our joy and happiness emitting from our homeland other than to see the preservation of our progenitors’ various talents! He is to Nollywood, the Nigerian/African movie and entertainment industry, what Wole Soyinka is to literature. For instance, his mesmerization of the 'perfect frames' in the configuration of both and, in the making of the award winning film 'Ayinla', seems to squared with the complex flux of film, of its reality, and embedded subjectives . May God preserve Túndé Kìlání and other cultural men and women who are preserving our battered cultural heritage 🙏 75th #birthday wishes to the legendary filmmaker and respectable human being. May you be blessed with a long and healthy life sir 🙏🙏🙏 Cc : @tkelani https://www.instagram.com/p/CpNmhn4M7Ht/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
