  • Towards an Aesthetic of the Migrant Self — the Film Le Clandestin by José Zeka Laplaine
    MARIE–HÉLÈNE GUTBERLET ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Towards an Aesthetic of the Migrant Self — The Film Le Clandestin by José Zeka Laplaine A BSTRACT: The representation of migrant arrivals in Europe is at the centre of this investigation of Zeka Laplaine’s short film Le Clandestin (1996). Placing the short film in the context of the African cinematographic traditions of earlier, more conventional, migrant narratives, the essay shows that the associative structure and the postmodern use of irony and magical realism in this short film question both our sense of familiarity and the promise of effortless transcultural communication. 1 OST FILMS (cinema and television productions) dealing with African migration, especially migration to Europe, are produced M and realized by European film and broadcasting companies. They reflect a specific attitude towards individuals and their situation and towards the issue of foreign presence on European soil. The portrayal and production of the African migrant in European media represents a complex field of poli- tically, socially, racially, and aesthetically relevant influences that would need to be analysed specifically. Awareness of these issues has spread beyond the academic field: everybody is more or less familiar with the images of African migrants, with the unease, the exaggerations, humiliations, and transformations taking place in the production of these images, and has learned to view against the grain and sometimes see behind the obvious. Another concern underlies the present essay: are there other ways of expressing and showing the arrival of © Transcultural Modernities: Narrating Africa in Europe, ed.

    Interview with Med Hondo by Mark Reid and Sylvie Blum http://www.ejumpcut.org/archive/onlinessays/JC31folder/Hon... JUMP CUT A REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY MEDIA Med Hondo, interview Working abroad by Mark Reid translated from French by Sylvie Blum from Jump Cut, no. 31, March 1986, pp. 48-49 copyright Jump Cut: A Review of Contemporary Media, 1986, 2006 The following interview was taped on July 6, 1982, with Med Hondo, actor, director and spokesperson for the African Filmmakers Committee (Comit Africain de Cinastes). The other members of that committee are these: Sembene Ousmane (Senegal), Paulin Vleyra (Senegal), Souleyman Cisse (Mali), J.M. Tchissou Kou (Congo), Karamo Lancine (Ivory Coast), Abacar Samb (Senegal), Daniel Kamusa (Cameroon), Diconque Pipa (Cameroon), Jules Takam (Cameroon), Mustapha Alassan (Niger), Safi Faye (Senegal), Ola Balugun (Nigeria), Film du Ghana, Sidiki Baka (Ivory Coast), Haile Gerima (Ethiopia) and Julie Dash (USA). Med Hondo acted in Costa Gravas's SHOCK TROOPS (1968), Roberto Enrico's ZITA (1968), and John Huston's A WALK WITH LOVE AND DEATH (1969). He has directed the short films BALLADE AUX SOURCES (1967), PARTOUT ET PEUT-ETRE NULLE PART (1968), and MES VOISINS (1971). His feature films are SOLEIL O (1971), BICOTS NEGRES NOS VOISINS (1974), and WEST INDIES (1981). In the U.S., New Yorker Films distributes SOLEIL O. REID: How do you finance your films? HONDO: I financed SOLEIL 0 (1971) with a year and a half's salary dubbing U.S. black voices into French. Ironically, I can't dub white roles yet whites dub black American voices from Hollywood films into French.

  • Hommage À Med Hondo Comédien, Réalisateur (Mauritanie)
    Hommage à Med Hondo Comédien, Réalisateur (Mauritanie) Tout comme Sembène Ousmane, père des cinémas africains, Med Hondo a été un ami très proche du Festival d’Amiens. Ses premiers films : Soleil Ô (1969) et Les Bicots-nègres vos voisins (1973) nous avaient marqués dans notre jeunesse de cinéphiles par la révolte exprimée et l’originalité de leur écriture cinématographique. Au fil des ans nous avons suivi son œuvre et il fit souvent partie de nos invités. L’une de ses remarques lors d’un colloque sur la production en Afrique fut à l’origine de l’une des plus superbes aventures du Festival d’Amiens. Je revois encore Med Hondo qui se dresse dans l’assistance en ce mois de novembre 1990 à la Maison de la Culture d’Amiens et donne de la voix : « il importe maintenant de créer une revue qui fasse le lien entre les cinéastes africains et l’ensemble de la profession, producteurs comme techniciens, d’Afrique ou d’Europe. La création d’une bourse d’aide aux scénarios est le deuxième point qu’il convient de mettre en œuvre ». Nous avons relevé le défi et en février 1991, à l’occasion du Fespaco paraissait le numéro 1 de la revue Le Film africain et du Sud. Le fonds d’aide au scénario démarra quelques années plus tard. La revue vécut jusqu’en 2014 et aujourd’hui encore constitue l’une des références pour la connaissance des films de l’Afrique sub-saharienne de la fin du 20e et du début du 21e siècle. Comme nous l’écrivions Annouchka de Andrade et moi-même, au moment de la disparition de Med Hondo, le 2 mars 2019 : « son œuvre aura marqué de manière conséquente la mémoire des cinéphiles intéressés aux cinémas du Sud.

Non pas que ses films soient hermétiques, au contraire, mais bien plutôt, de manière très concrète, parce qu’ils n’ont jamais bénéficié de la diffusion qu’ils méritaient. C’est là le reflet du parcours de Med Hondo : s’étant toujours battu contre le néocolonialisme de la production cinématographique mondiale, ses œuvres ont été marginalisées des circuits de production traditionnels. Et pourtant, elles ont circulé dans des petites mairies qui organisaient des projections, en France et en Afrique, dans des festivals ou des petites salles militantes.

A FILM BY MED HONDO (Mauritania, 1970) Information: Address: [email protected] The Film Foundation/World Cinema Project [email protected] 7920 Sunset Boulevard, 6 th Floor Los Angeles, CA 90046 – USA Film Bookings: 110 W. 57th Street, 6th Floor New York, NY 10019 – USA [email protected] Restoration supported by the George Lucas Family Foundation This restoration is part of the African Film Heritage Project, created by The Film Foundation, FEPACI and UNESCO – in collaboration with Cineteca di Bologna – to help locate, restore, and disseminate African cinema. 1 2 It was purely by chance that we ended up being artists ‘of colour’, as is the term usually used. In Paris together for basically the same reasons, Bachir, Touré, Robert and I found ourselves right in the middle of a country, a city, where we had to get by, for a lack of better words, where we had to work: being an actor, a musician, a singer. And where we realized immediately the doors were closed […]. As a solution we thought of creating a theater group and, in the meantime, we all made Soleil Ô . In order to make the film we had to overcome every bureaucratic and material obstacle, in other words, find a producer and tell him: “It’s the best story around, because we believe in it”. Like they say: “If you’re good at talking, you’re good at making film”. And so, we made Soleil Ô without money […].

  • Producing African Cinema in Paris
    Producing African Cinema in Paris An Interview with Andree Daventure Mark A. Reid Andree Daventure did extensive editing work in French film and televi- sion before she founded her own company, Atria. In 1953, she became an assistant film editor for a series of documentary shorts, including La Destruction et Reconstruction de Varsovie, a series on the Marshall Plan in 1955, a film on the United Nations, and several other educational films. By 1957, she edited features, including Louis Saslovsky's 1er Mai (1957) with Yves Montand, Raoul Andre's Clara et les Mechants (1958) and his Un Homme a Vendre in 1959. Between 1959 and 1966, she worked as the assistant editor on twenty-one feature films, including C. B. Aubert's study on interracial intimacy, Les Laches Vivent D-Espoir (1960), Yves Allegret's adaptation of Zola's Germinal (1963), and Rene Clement's pseudo-documentary, Paris Brule-t-/l? [Is Paris Burning?} (1966) which she also helped to research. In 1967, she became a chief editor on television and film productions. Several year later, she began editing films made by African filmmakers. Daventure and the French Ministry of Foreign Relations (which helps to finance Francophone African cinema, as the Ministere de las Cooperation had done before 1981) have been the two most important European promoters of Francophone African cinema. It was after discussions with Senegalese filmmaker Safi Faye, the first African woman filmmaker, that I asked Andree Daventure for an interview. Daventure offered a wealth of information about the cross- cultural problems which a white French woman encounters when editing Jump Cut, no.

  • General Assembly Distr.: General 7 August 2014
    United Nations A/69/281 General Assembly Distr.: General 7 August 2014 Original: English Sixty-ninth session Item 117 of the provisional agenda* Follow-up to the commemoration of the two-hundredth anniversary of the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade Programme of educational outreach on the transatlantic slave trade and slavery Report of the Secretary-General Summary The present report is submitted in accordance with General Assembly resolution 68/7, in which the Assembly requested the Secretary-General to report on continued action to implement the programme of educational outreach on the transatlantic slave trade and slavery and the steps taken to enhance world public awareness of the commemorative activities and the permanent memorial initiative. The theme of the commemoration in 2014, “Victory over slavery: Haiti and beyond”, paid tribute to the fight against slavery in nations around the world. Haiti was the first nation to become independent as a result of the struggle of enslaved men and women, led by Toussaint Louverture. It is 210 years since the Republic of Haiti was established on 1 January 1804. Working in close collaboration with States members of the Caribbean Community and the African Union, the Department of Public Information organized a series of activities, which started on 24 January and continued throughout the year, including the official observance of the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade on 25 March 2014; a film festival on slavery; and an exhibition. The twentieth anniversary of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Slave Route Project provided another opportunity to organize educational and commemorative events related to slavery.

Without a douBt one of the most important film directors in Africa and in the world today, Med Hondo is not only one of the foundational figures of African cinema along with Ousmane SemBene and others, But also one of the most talented, radically versatile and profoundly influential directors from the continent. With a career spanning more than five decades, several professions (duBBing, acting, directing and producing for the theater and the cinema) and yielding twelve films set on three continents (Africa, Europe, the Americas), Med Hondo has played an indispensable role in the establishment of some of the most important and enduring institutions of the continent’s cinema, including the Pan-African Film Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO) and the Pan-African Federation of Filmmakers (FEPACI). He has also produced important written texts outlining significant axes of the project of African cinema including the need to “avoid copying the European and American cinema”.
