A Bissau le carnaval
Sarah Maldoror, 1980, FR, GW, digital, 18'
Sarah Maldoror films the carnival in Guinea-Bissau in the first years after its independence. She shows how a popular event collectively constructs a mindset that reverses the relations of colonial rule. By focusing on how residents view and celebrate their black identity during the annual festivities, the film is an expression of the emancipating power of art and culture.
