Yeelen 15

Part of Francophone West African Cinema
Souleymane Cissé, Mali, Burkina Faso, France, Japan, West Germany, 1987, 105m.

Our screening on 30 March will be introduced by Marie Rodet (SOAS) and will be followed by a post-film discussion in the Garden Bar.


Souleymane Cissé conjures a spellbinding mythical fantasy set in medieval Mali. Yeelen follows the journey of a young sorcerer who seeks to escape from – and then ultimately face – his evil magician father, in a final confrontation between light and darkness. Awarded the jury prize at the 1987 Cannes festival, Yeelen is rightly hailed as a breakthrough for African cinema.


Contains scenes of animal cruelty which some viewers will find distressing

Cast:
Issiaka Kane, Balla Moussa Keita, Aoua Sangare, Ismaila Sarr
