From writing to screen is the first work to address the question of the filmic rewriting of the French-speaking African novel. He uses the semiology of the image, poetics and post-colonial theories to define the theoretical, ideological and semantic issues governing the passage from literary texts to cinema. It identifies important parameters in the poetics of writing and shows the role of the creative act in the otherness of the derivative, filmic text, in relation to the original, literary text. As a result, it formulates innovative proposals in relation to purely speculative, thematic or ideological questions on "adaptation", an act of recreation and rewriting whose mechanisms go beyond the sole framework of African cinemas
