A Poet With a Camera, Restored by Her Daughter

Sarah Maldoror made Sambizanga in 1972, three films on Aime Cesaire across as many decades, a carnival trilogy shot in Cape Verde, the Sahel and Bissau, and a portrait of Louis Aragon. Since her death her daughter Annouchka de Andrade has been putting the work back into circulation, securing Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation for the Sambizanga restoration that finished in 2021. She has now curated a season of it at BFI Southbank, running to the fourth of October.
