Films by Mati Diop

With her breathtaking feature debut, Atlantics, French-Senegalese filmmaker Mati Diop has emerged as one of contemporary cinema’s most bracing and distinctive voices. Her singular vision is on full display in her extraordinary short films, intricate, mysterious documentary-fiction hybrid works that explore themes of cultural identity and displacement. Blending subtly surreal visuals and richly evocative sound design to haunting, dreamlike effect, these films reveal a major talent coming into focus. Added on WEDNESDAY, 26 FEBRUARY 2020
