Order your Ousmane Sembène book now

by Allison Mobley

ousmane-sembene-book-2On February 8, 2014, we will honor legendary Senegalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembène during the retrospective matinee. CFAF committee member Dr. Amadou Fofana will host the afternoon session and provide insights featured in his book, The Films of Ousmane Sembène: Discourse, Politics, and Culture. The book examines the artistry of Sembène’s films as well as the codes and symbols he uses throughout them. Dr. Fofana will discuss these elements and provide us with a lens through which to watch and more deeply understand Sembène’s films.
