Cinemanita: Black Girl Screening

We're back with the next film in our film series TOXIC WORKPLACES: Senegalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembène in his feature directorial debut based on his 1962 short story, which was in turn inspired by a real life incident.

Black Girl (1966) follows a young Senegalese woman who moves from her native Dakar to France, to work for a French couple.

Mati Diop's short film Atlantiques (2009) will be screened beforehand which means you can watch not one but two superb African films in Wolof next Saturday night at @chicagoartdept
