Luminaries expected to be present for screenings of their films, and/or to speak include Euzhan Palcy, Eriq Ebouaney, Isaach de Bankolé, & Alex Descas – all names you should be familiar with if you’ve been reading this blog!
In addition, the late Ousmane Sembene’s seminal 1966 film La Noire de (aka Black Girl), will screen, along with one of my favorite Claire Denis films, 1990’s S’en fout la mort (No Fear, No Die), which starred Isaach de Bankole and Ale Descas, and Aliker, a...
