Join ICA Cinema for the UK premiere of The Cemetery of Cinema. The Cemetery of Cinema is a eulogy to the 1953 film Mouramani directed by Mamadou Touré. Made when French colonial rule still banned Africans from picking up a camera, the film has become notorious on home soil, yet no one recalls having seen it. Filmmaker Thierno Souleymanne Diallo sets out on a journey to find this elusive relic, and along the way uncovers cultures of film-making, archiving and exhibition today. The film will be followed by an online Q&A with director Thierno Souleymanne Diallo.
