The internationally renowned African director made his feature debut in 1966 with the brilliant and stirring Black Girl (La noire de . . .). \n\n\n\nSembène\, who was also an acclaimed novelist in his native Senegal\, transforms a deceptively simple plot—about a young Senegalese woman who moves to France to work for a wealthy white couple and finds that life in their small apartment becomes a figurative and literal prison—into a complex\, layered critique on the lingering colonialist mindset of a supposedly postcolonial world. Featuring a moving central performance by Mbissine Thérèse Diop\, Black Girl is a harrowing human drama as well as a radical political statement. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Ousmane Sembène\n Year: 1966\n Country: Senegal\n Runtime: 59 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/black-girl-1966/ CATEGORIES:bhm ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/black-girl-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260204T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260204T210000 DTSTAMP:20260423T063445 CREATED:20260126T013815Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260126T013816Z UID:10002176-1770231600-1770238800@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:IF I WERE...
