Ecrans d'Afrique: Revue Internationale de Cinema Television et Video (also known as African Screen), founded by African filmmakers in Burkina Faso in 1992 during a period of intense worldwide interest and commentary on African T.V. and film, explored all aspects of African film production.[1] It, along with its many contemporaries, sought to ameliorate an intellectual climate which suffered from a dearth of commentary on African film.[1] A corollary of the journal's efforts was to improve worldwide exposure and access to African films - it was linked to the Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO), the continent's leading film festival, from its inception.[1] Ecrans d'Afrique has also been lauded for its wide gaze covering the whole of the African diaspora and for its excellent coverage of Caribbean film developments.

The magazine was published by Fédération panafricaine des cinéastes on a quarterly basis.[2] It ceased publication in 1998.[3]
