Guelwaar (Sembène, 1993): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 8.35pm
This 35mm presentation, which also screens on August 17th, is part of the Ousmane Sembène season. You can find all the details here.
BFI introduction:
Here, Sembène continues to probe the theme of religious intolerance,
previously explored in Ceddo, alongside a critique of neocolonial aid.
Through biting satire, the filmmaker draws a rich and textured portrait
of a community fractured between Muslims and Christians, through the
tale of a Christian’s body mistakenly buried according to Muslim rites.
Here (and above) is an extract.
