ADIFF DC: WOMEN IN SENEGAL - Q&A and Reception
Sunday, August 23rd, 2015 @ 5PM


Ken Bugul - Nobody Wants Her

An expressive aesthetic as rhapsodic as the written words of Bugul herself, Ken Bugul: Nobody Wants Her is a filmic ode to the brilliance of this revered Senegalese writer. Determined to set her own path in life, Ken Bugul (born Mariètou Mbaye Biléoma) left Senegal and spent 20 years living in Europe, only to feel an even deeper loneliness and alienation. She belonged neither here nor there. Encountering crushing rejection upon her return to Senegal, at her most destitute and desperate, Bugul sought refuge in her writing. Her debut novel, The Abandoned Baobab, already captured Bugul's unique idiosyncratic style and cemented her position as a novelist. Painting a mosaic picture of Bugul's life and times, this powerful documentary leads us into the secret world of a transgressive African woman artist and her brave fight for freedom and acceptance.  Silvia Voser, 2013, 62mins, French/Swiss documentary, French with English subtitles.

Dancing Like Home
This is a personal documentary short exploring the realities of going back 'home' to Africa. It is a film about a woman whose love for African dance sets her in pursuit to find the history of the traditional dances of Casamance, Senegal but once there, her expectations are challenged. Directed by Joyce Guy, 2014, USA/Senegal, 32 min, documentary in English
