We are pleased to announce that the Infobase editorial team has expanded its World Cinema Collection. It now includes Africa and Caribbean films from ArtMattan Productions. These films highlight the African diaspora. These feature films include award-winning titles by directors from Curaçao, Cuba, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago.

ArtMattan Productions distributes films about the lives of Black people in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas. It also features stories from Europe. The company also curates the annual African Diaspora Film Festival in New York City.

With more than 400 feature films from the most renowned directors across the globe, the World Cinema Collection includes the best of the silent era, groundbreaking international directors, American and European masterpieces from the mid-20th century, and award-winning contemporary films featured by Global Lens. The collection shines a light on the history of cinema while also providing a glimpse into the cultures and issues of countries around the world, making it useful beyond film studies departments by bringing value to programs in area studies, political science, history, world languages, and more.
