Don't miss the unique opportunity to discover and discuss Faat Kiné, a film by Ousmane Sembene.

Like Borom Sarret, Black Girl, The Money Order, and Xala, Ousmane Sembene’s film Faat Kiné is another chapter in the writer-director’s laser-sharp commentary of post-independence in Senegal. Faat Kiné stands out as the most hopeful, the most restorative, and the most beautifully crafted story Ousmane Sembene has ever told about the changing roles of women in Senegalese society. In this sense, Faat Kiné could be regarded as a defining text of what feminism could mean in 21st-century Africa.

On Thursday, March 25, Mariama Baldé, a Senegalese actress who plays a role in Faat Kiné, and who previously studied the films of Ousmane Sembene, joins with Columbia Professors Souleymane Bachir Diagne and Mamadou Diouf in a conversation (which will take place in French) about the pioneer work of the Senegalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembene, moderated by Nora Philippe.

Thursday, March 25, 1:00 PM-2:00 PM (New York) / 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM (Paris)
