ABOUT THE ROUNDTABLE

Selected as the honoured guest country in the last FESPACO in Ouagadougou, Senegal has played a key role in the history of African cinema, with pioneering filmmakers such as Ousmane Sembène (1923- 2007), Safi Faye (n. 1943), and Djibril Diop Mambéty (1945-1998). Following the double bill of ANONYMES + FISSURES, this round-table sought to shed light to the narrative and approaches emerging from contemporary women film and screen media makers, whose stories place women at the very centre.
