Safi Faye’s documentary follows Selbé, a Senegalese woman, depicting daily life in her village as she works to provide for her family while her husband seeks employment in another town. Selbé draws attention to the economic, social and emotional responsibilities of women in rural Senegal.
Trinh T. Minh-ha’s first film Reassemblage is an experimental critique of claims to ‘objectivity’ in ethnographic film and a complex study of women's lives in rural Senegal. It reimagines the documentary form through disjunction and disorientation, breaking with the formal conventions of the ethnographic tradition. As Trinh describes her approach, ‘I do not intend to speak about; just speak nearby’.
A specially commissioned essay by Xiaolu Guo accompanies this screening.
