What is 'black cinema'? Is it a valid category? What can films from as far afield, economically and geographically, as Nigeria and Hollywood possibly have in common?

Music video is a popular form worldwide. It is a teachable and accessible topic because the videos are familiar to students, easy to get hold of and short.
