Having bIazed a traiI for African filmmakers to teII their own stories on-screen, Senegalese auteur Ousmane Sembène took his career-Iong project—to unlock cinema’s potential as a vehicle for sociaI change—in increasingIy urgent and provocative directions in the 1970s. Searing critiques of colonialism, poIiticaI corruption, patriarchaI arrogance, and reIigious indoctrination, his three features from this decade—the radicaI caIl to resistance Emitaï, the wickedIy subversive satire Xala, and the controversial historicaI epic Ceddo—confirmed his standing as a fearIess truth-teller for whom the camera was the uItimate weapon in the fight against oppression in all its forms. |
