Maldororian Poetry: A recent communiqué from Bruno Jacobs. And while on the topic, the London Review of Books ran a fascinating piece on the life and work of the French film-maker Sarah Maldoror, who while not a Surrealist took revolutionary inspiration from Isidore Ducasse in her work with African liberation movements from the late 1950s on.

new-to-me #899 - Sambizanga

[directedbywomen]

I continued today's 12 hour #DirectedbyWomen #FilmFeast by streaming Sambizanga (1972) directed by Sarah Maldoror on Criterion Channel. "This revolutionary bombshell by Sarah Maldoror chronicles the awakening of Angola’s independence movement. Based on a true story, SAMBIZANGA follows a young woman as she makes her way from the outskirts of Luanda toward the city’s center looking for her husband after his arrest by the Portuguese authorities—an incident that will ultimately help to ignite a national uprising. Featuring a cast of nonprofessionals—many of whom were themselves involved in anticolonial resistance—this landmark work of political cinema honors the essential roles of women, as well as the hardships they endure, in the global struggle for liberation."

This week I am recommending a new body horror showbiz satire, a semi-autobiographical Sundance-winning coming-of-age film, a dysfunctional family dramedy, the 50th anniversary celebration of Films by Women/Chicago ’74, and a short Palestinian documentary.
