Senegal Prepares Ousmane Sembene Tribute Sponsored Links Senegal Prepares Ousmane Sembene Tribute Ousmane Sembene, the Senegalese film director and novelist who died this past June at age 84, is widely known as the father of African cinema. By Phuong Tran Dakar, Senegal 13 August 2007 Source: VOA.com Category: 0 Submit your Articles Here! Ousmane Sembene, the Senegalese film director and novelist who died this past June at age 84, is widely known as the father of African cinema. But before he was recognized for films that protested colonization, sexism and social injustice, he was a manual laborer. Sembene went on to make films about the struggles of the working poor. Since he passed away in June after a long illness, Sembene has been remembered in ceremonies around the world, but not yet in his home country. Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade has asked cultural leaders to plan an homage. Phuong Tran has more from Dakar. Most people did not know how sick the filmmaker had become. Clarence Delgado worked with him for 25 years at Sembene's production company, Filmi Doomireew. He says the artist suffered in silence for seven months.  "We protected his secret until the end. I wanted people to have a memory of how radiant he was, not how frail he became." Sembene's office is filled with reminders of the more than one dozen films he produced, his novels, and numerous film festival awards. "Sembene's experience with women, with colonization, with history-every film he made included a different part of his personal experience and philosophy," said Delgado. In 1989, Sembene made the movie "Camp Thiaroye" about a French massacre of African soldiers who revolted to demand severance pay. Delgado remembers the film as the most intense and emotional one he made with Sembene. "One day on the set, Sembene just screamed in anger and left. I followed him home. He told me that we had to finish the film as soon as possible. Then, we both cried. We just cried. It was all too much." Sembene achieved many cinematic milestones during his career. In 1968, Sembene distributed his first film in color, "Le Mandat". It was also the first time a major film was made in Wolof, a widely spoken language in Senegal. The story followed the impact of colonialism on two different people. Senegalese film critic Baba Diop has followed Sembene's career for more than two decades. He says "Le Mandat" proved it was possible to make a film in a local language.  "All the films up to that point were dubbed in French. The mentality was that a film had to be made in French. But Sembene was committed to promoting our national language." "Sembene observed closely Senegalese society. His films have details,” Diop illustrated, “like scenes from a barber shop, a shave, which is part of the common man's routine." Cheikh Ba co-founded the Senegalese Filmmaker's Association with Sembene and is its current president. He says Sembene was like a vendor of used, forgotten and abused parts. "He collected these lost voices the way some gather stray artifacts, and brought them back to life. For the homage, we will bring together those voices-the different parts of Sembene." Sembene once told art critic Diop that he distrusted fame and glory because they were short lived. Rather, Sembene said, he preferred to live forever and work among the people. news Senegal Prepare 0 Subcategories Arts & Humanities > News and Media > Business & Economy > News and Media > Computers & Internet > News and Media > Computers & Internet > Year 2000 Problem > Education > News and Media > Entertainment > News and Media > Government > News and Media > Health > News and Media > News & Media > Arts and Humanities > News & Media > Automotive > news Senegal Prepare 0 Articles Africa Mobile: Senegal and Angola by Robert Bell
