Two extraordinary films from Senegalese master Djibril Diop Mambéty offer richly textured portraits of Dakar, where hardship coexists with possibility.

In The Little Girl Who Sold the Sun, Lissa Baléra is unforgettable as Sili, the city’s only female newspaper seller. Paired with Le Franc, a sly tale of a musician and a winning lottery ticket, these luminous, inventive films form Mambéty’s unfinished Tales of Ordinary People series and offer a glimpse of his singular vision.

"I am interested in marginalized people because I believe that they do more for the evolution of a community than conformists." — Djibril Diop Mambéty, Transition

Screening organised with the support of the Institut francais du Royaume-Uni.
