Afrique-sur-Seine, dirs. Paulin Soumanou Vieyra, Jacques Mélo Kane and Mamadou Sarr, France 1955, 22 min.
Through the lenses of pan-African filmmakers, London Short Film Festival explores the auditory experience of ‘listening’ to a film, with rare archival works in dialogue with contemporary moving image.
The programme includes Paulin Soumanou Vieyra’s landmark 1955 Afrique-sur-Seine, and Sonia Boyce and Ain Bailey’s single-channel video work about the legacy of the late jazz singer and entertainer, Adelaide Hall.
