A poetic meditation on Africa at the turn of the new millennium, Life on Earth imagines Mali on the last day of the last century. A “fictional documentary,” Life on Earth interlaces images of Sokolo, a border town in Mali, with readings from Aime Césaire, the Caribbean critic of colonialism, and the sounds of the world famous Malian singer Salif Keita. At the center of this film are the dense connections between technologies, people, and places. In French and Bambara languages with English subtitles. (35mm presentation)
Cost: Free, but ticketed
