Djibril Diop Mambety

For the first time in the U.S., the Oriki Collective (Yann Salètes, Mourad Baïtiche, and Michel Teyssier), together with the Senegalese vocalist Woz Kaly (founder of Missal, sang with Youssou N’Dour and toured with Touré Kunda, among others), perform their original, live score to The Little Girl Who Sold the Sun. In Mambéty’s final, posthumously released film, Sili (Lissa Balera) is a young girl with paraplegia who is determined to sell Le Soleil (The Sun, the local newspaper) on the streets of Dakar, despite the fact that boys have historically run that racket. Agile on her crutches, she cheerfully confronts a ruthless and saturated marketplace. A Q&A with the Oriki Collective and Woz Kaly will follow the performance.

Restored in 2K in 2019 by Waka Films with the support of the Institut Français, Cinémathèque Afrique and CNC – Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée, in agreement with Teemur Mambéty, at Éclair Laboratories from the original negative.
