This year, the Moscow International Film Festival found itself halfway up the ladder between a local showcase meant to bring a taste of international fare to Moscow audiences and a must-stop station on the international festival circuit for anyone interested in Russian filmmaking.

But aside from real virtues (including an abashed engagement with its heroine’s emotional life), the movie connected almost electrically with Russian audiences, especially women.

Ousmane Sembene[oosmA´ne sumbe´ne] Pronunciation Key, 1923–, Senegalese writer and film director writing in French and Wolof, often regarded as the father of sub-Saharan African cinema.
His subsequent films, including Xala (1973) and Ceddo [outsiders] (1977), have often been temporarily banned or censored in Senegal because parts of them were deemed offensive to government standards.
His later films include Guelwaar (1992), a groundbreaking satire on Muslim-Christian conflicts in a small village; Samori (1994); and Faat-Kine (2000), which again reflects Sembene's concern for African women.
