About this Event
Join us at The Anfield People's Cinema Festival for this screening of Black Girl (1966) Directed by Ousmane Sembène
Black girl follows the story of a young Senegalese woman who moves to France to work for a wealthy white family and finds that life in their small apartment becomes a Pr*son, both figuratively and literally—into a complexly layered critique of the lingering colonialist mind-set of a supposedly postcolonial world. Featuring a moving central performance by M’Bissine Thérèse Diop, Black Girl is a harrowing human drama as well as a radical political statement—and one of the essential films of the 1960s
