FVNMA first-year graduate student Charles Krampah is organising a new film series:

No One Talks About African Films is a weekly screening series introducing audiences to films from across the African continent.

Our opening screening will be Touki Bouki (1973), directed by Djibril Diop Mambéty.
A landmark of African cinema, the film follows two young lovers in Dakar dreaming of escape to Paris, unfolding through a bold and experimental cinematic style.
