Sembene Ousmane Special

Sembene Ousmane Special

This week, we are talking about a legend of cinema, a filmmaker whose career is intimately linked to the history of Africa, from slavery to the Islamic conquest, from the French colonizer to the new African bourgeoisies. Cinephiles knew how to recognize from afar this unique silhouette, pipe and cap which made cartoonists happy. And above all that gravelly, inimitable voice, which we heard from afar in the evening, by the swimming pool of the Hôtel Indépendance, during the Fespaco.
