Abderrahmane Sissako | Mali/USA/France 2006 | 1h55m | 35mm | French and Bambara with English subtitles | PG
Africa in Motion screening: Monday 29 October at 6.30pm, Edinburgh Filmhouse
In the courtyard of a house in Bamako, the capital of Mali ("a leading gold-producing country where the people are poor"), a symbolic trial is taking place. The plaintiff is African society; the defendants are the massive international financial institutions - the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the legacies of colonialism and Western materialism. In the background, life goes on - one man is slowly dying, a marriage is being torn apart, a security guard's gun has gone missing, another man struggles to learn Israeli.
Bamako is a rich film about poverty, exploitation and desperation. Full of colour, music and vitality, it combines gripping drama and sharp satire to create an inspirational, often humorous and sometimes moving insight into contemporary Africa.
