Il 9 giugno del 2007 se ne andava Ousmane Sembène. Ateo e comunista, fu il primo regista a raccontare l'Africa con gli occhi di un africano.

Writer and filmmaker Tambay Obenson blazed a trail in early 2000s US film criticism, founding the prolific Black cinema blog Shadow & Act and going on to serve as IndieWire’s principal Black cinema staff writer until last year, when he established Akoroko – a media platform dedicated to discourse around African film and TV. As the birth centenary of Ousmane Sembène comes to an end, Obenson muses on the monumental legacy of a filmmaker widely hailed as the ‘father of African cinema’
Ousmane Sembene: "A two-week retrospective of the pioneering Senegalese auteur’s radical, groundbreaking work, commemorating his centennial year. The series spans across four decades, from his debut feature BLACK GIRL (1966)."

This was Ousmane Sembene's first feature - last year we discussed his second, Mandabi, which is also great (but very different to this one)
"Black Girl" is a very short film (only 60 minutes) but packs a real punch. It's one of only 2 African films on the latest BFI 100 Greatest Films list.
Our discussion of Sembene's "Mandabi" is here -
