A rather terse but comprehensive documentary piece about the fascinating career of the late Senegalese film director, Ousmane Sembene has been uploaded on the main page of http://www.filmsofafrica.com/. I hope you will have the pleasure of watching it as much as I did. For your conveninece I will also post the link here.
I did not know that Sembene's career as a filmmaker began at the age of 40. That sounds late, but he is a proven champion in the field. His high caliber works define him as a great artist who has later come to be regarded as the "father of African Cinema". He has overcome all stumbling blocks to bring African films to the world. Sembene has made a total of 9 feature films that have great significance to African cinema and society in general.
