Sembène’s quietly radical film follows a young Senegalese woman navigatingisolation and racism after moving to France for work and opportunity. With its stark poeticrealism and unflinching social critique, Black Girl remains a landmark in world cinema and adefining moment in African storytelling on screen.Following Black Girl, we will screen Beutset (2023), a bold short film by Alicia Mendy. Set in anear-future Dakar where a parasite has contaminated the city’s water, Beutset tells the story ofAlioune, a young man who can no longer afford the pills that suppress the parasite’s symptoms.As madness sets in, he instead experiences a radical clarity, embarking on a journey of politicaland spiritual awakening.
