The TVI Take
Djibril Diop Mambéty's 1973 Senegalese film about two young Dakar residents dreaming of emigrating to Paris. The structural commitment to letting non-linear Senegalese-urban editing render the protagonists' generational cognitive material, and Mambéty's non-Western formal innovations, established the canonical African-cinema founding text.
Mati Diop's 2019 Atlantics is the direct contemporary heir.
