Mr. Haroun is one of today\u2019s best filmmakers, and the Cascade Festival of African Films (CFAF) has been proud to showcase a number of his films over the years, including <em>Bye-Bye Africa<\/em> in 2001, <em>Abouna\/Our Father<\/em> in 2004, <em>Daratt\/Dry Season<\/em> in 2008, and <em>Sex, Okra and Salted Butter<\/em> in 2010. With his latest film, Mr. Haroun returns to themes of family and loyalty in war-torn Chad. He tells the story of Adam, a former swimming champion and local hero, who works as a pool attendant at a luxury hotel in the capital city N\u2019Djamena. When the hotel falls under new management, Adam is demoted, and his son is hired to replace him. To add to his humiliation, Adam is too old to join the civil war still raging in the country. With his signature style of austere profundity, Mr. Haroun reveals the full tragedy of this African father\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<p>In Chadian Arabic and French with English subtitles.<\/p>\n<p>We deeply regret that Mahamet-Saleh Haroun&#8217;s visit to the 21st Cascade Festival of African Films has been canceled.
