CAMERAS FROM SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
02.06 > 27.08
African cinema has the power to seduce with its clarity of vision; it goes straight to the heart of the matter. It also counteracts preconceptions and prejudices by dealing with social problems without resorting to exotic clichés or poverty porn. To mark the re-release of the restored version of La Vie est Belle, we present a selection of films that give a voice to the peoples of this great continent.

Jacques Ledoux
“Jacques Ledoux has been memorialized in a lovely multilingual book that gathers reminiscences by Ledoux’s colleagues. There are memoirs by Noël Desmet, Clementine Deblieck, Jean-Paul Dorchain, Hilde Delabie, and Gabrielle Claes, Ledoux’s successor as director. Bernard Eisenschitz, Eric De Kuyper, and P. Adams Sitney offer illuminating appreciations of Ledoux’s contributions. (Sitney’s very full account of Knokke doings is a crucial document in the history of the American avant-garde.) Ledoux’s own voice is represented by a program note for a 1968 science-fiction series. There are many wonderful illustrations–photos, posters, correspondence (Cocteau, Lenica, Akerman).”
