an amazing director and novelist!! :)
He should influence mode filmmakers in Africa and The world
Almost all of the greatest filmmakers acknowledge cinema's inferiority to literature. It is indeed its both parasitic and utopian existence as a popular art which makes it so pure and beautiful. This is part of the meaning of the spellbinding scene in Emitai when the village's resistance is resonating in the audience of the women encircled and silenced by the soldiers who then start to sing, a film linking the idea of democracy to the essence of the oral tradition with a necessity which is unconceivable within literature. If one needs to know why cinema exists, or once existed, what was its subconscious utopia and misunderstood possibility, and wherein lies its tragedy and comedy in being capitalism's child, one should watch Emitai, or any film by this still not sufficiently recognized genius of all geniuses.

@@galactictea Look, the subtitle is in portuguese but you can put in english changing the configuration, i tried and the traduction is very close. And many scenes in the film there's a person who translates sembene's words from french to english. Hope you can watch it!
Great video
Well as he says cinema allows different cultures to view and they will have different perceptions but most cinema does have a target audience also.
