SUMMARY:SAMBIZANGA (1972)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Week 2 of ARRAY360 at A WOMAN’S WORK a triple screening showcase of women made film gems. \nEVENT SCHEDULE\n2:00 PM | Guest Check-in Begins\n3:00 PM | Feature Film presentation:SAMBIZANGA (1972) (Run Time: 1h 27m) \nABOUT THE FILM\nBased on a true story\, SAMBIZANGA follows young resistance leader Domingos Xavier whose arrest by the Portuguese authorities helps ignite an anti-colonialist uprising and leads his determined wife Maria on an epic journey by foot to save him. \nMPA Rating:\nNOT-RATED \nABOUT THE FILMMAKER\nSarah Maldoror (1929–2020) was a visionary French filmmaker of Guadeloupean descent whose radical films helped define anti-colonial and Pan-African cinema. Born Sarah Ducados in southwestern France\, she later adopted the name Maldoror from the surrealist text LES CHANTS DE MALDOROR as an act of artistic self-definition. She began her creative journey in Parisian theater\, co-founding Les Griots in 1956\, the first troupe of exclusively Black and Caribbean actors in France. Driven by a commitment to revolutionary storytelling\, Ms. Maldoror studied filmmaking at the Moscow Film Academy\, where she trained alongside emerging African directors including Ousmane Sembène. \nUpon returning\, she worked as assistant director on THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS (1966) before launching her own directing career in Africa. Her acclaimed films MONANGAMBÉE (1969) and SAMBIZANGA (1972) boldly portrayed liberation movements and the lived realities of colonized peoples. Working outside traditional systems\, Ms. Maldoror created a distinctly transnational body of work\, earning her the title “matriarch of African cinema.” Across more than two dozen films\, she used cinema as a tool of resistance\, love and liberation. \nScreenings of MAURI (1988) and THE CURSE OF QUON GWON (1916) are also included in the day’s program. Please note: Each film screening will have a separate ticketed entry. Guests must RSVP and possess a ticket for each film in order to attend any of the three film screenings.
