Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Hausa cinema, or Kannywood, is one of the most vibrant film industries in Nigeria, with its roots deeply embedded in the culture and traditions of the Hausa-speaking people. Over the years, Kannywood has grown in both popularity and influence, becoming a major medium for entertainment and cultural expression. While the industry has been predominantly male-dominated, women have played an increasingly important role in its evolution, both as filmmakers and as actors. In Fagge Local Government Area, Kano State, female filmmakers are contributing to the growth and transformation of the Hausa film industry, challenging traditional gender roles and offering new narratives that reflect the lives, aspirations, and challenges of women. This study examines the role of women in the evolution of Hausa cinema, focusing specifically on female filmmakers from Fagge, and how their contributions have shaped the industry. By highlighting the experiences and perspectives of these women, the study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamics of gender in Hausa cinema and the broader Nigerian film industry.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While the contributions of women to the development of Hausa cinema are increasingly recognized, there is a lack of focused research on the specific role of female filmmakers in the evolution of the industry, particularly in local contexts like Fagge Local Government Area, Kano State. Female filmmakers in Kannywood have often faced significant barriers, including cultural restrictions, gender-based discrimination, and limited access to the resources needed to produce films. Despite these challenges, many women have emerged as key players in the industry, shaping its content, direction, and audience. However, the exact nature of their contributions, the obstacles they face, and the impact of their work on the evolution of Hausa cinema remain under-explored. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining the role of female filmmakers from Fagge in shaping Kannywood and the broader cultural and societal implications of their work.
1.3 Objectives of the Study

To examine the challenges faced by women in the Hausa film industry and how they overcome these challenges.
To evaluate the impact of female filmmakers on the content, narratives, and representation of women in Kannywood films.

1.6 Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it provides a comprehensive examination of the role of women in the development of Hausa cinema, a critical yet under-researched aspect of the Nigerian film industry. By focusing on female filmmakers in Fagge Local Government Area, the study contributes to the broader discourse on gender, cinema, and cultural representation. The findings will be valuable to policymakers, filmmakers, and scholars interested in understanding the dynamics of gender in the film industry and promoting greater inclusion of women in creative and decision-making roles within the film sector.
1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study focuses on the role of female filmmakers in the evolution of Hausa cinema, with a specific focus on Fagge Local Government Area, Kano State. The study is limited to this geographical area and may not reflect the experiences of female filmmakers in other parts of Nigeria. A limitation of the study is that it may not capture the full range of challenges and achievements of female filmmakers in the industry, as the experiences of individual filmmakers can vary widely.
