At the turn of the 1990s, the film scene in Ghana and Nigeria underwent a profound economic and aesthetic transformation that affected the representations, imaginations and symbolic data that govern the social order. This paper examines how this new cinema has changed the relationship between the visible and the invisible that underlies popular rituals and beliefs, and whether Nollywood is really at the origin of a new type of "historical type of gaze".
