Sarah Maldoror

Sarah Maldoror (1929-2020) was a Franco-Guadeloupean filmmaker and a pivotal figure in anti-colonial and post-colonial African cinema. Her works, deeply influenced by her commitment to social justice and cultural identity, explored the complexities of African life and history, particularly during the tumultuous years of the 1960s and 1970s. Her retrospective at the Centre Pompidou in Paris highlights her significant contributions to cinema, including the world premiere of the restored version of her first film, 'Monangambééé'.
