Ousmane Sembène would have turned 100 this year. A writer and filmmaker, he remains a leading figure and a reference in the field of literary and cinematographic creation. A man who forged links between continents, his integrity, tenacity, and faith in Africa are shared by today's youth. This is an opportunity to rediscover and reclaim a legacy that opens the doors to a future built around the values dear to Sembène: commitment, dignity, independence, and transmission.
This round table will be an opportunity to pay tribute to this emblematic figure of African cinema and to address the challenges of preserving and promoting African film heritage in order to draw up a non-exhaustive inventory with the various participants present.
In partnership with: Fepaci, Vives Voix Publishing, the African Archives Fund for the Preservation of Memories, Canal Plus, TV5 Monde, France Media Monde, the International Organization of La Francophonie, Héliotropismes, the Pavillon Afriques, the Pavillon Africain, and Cinetek.
