Collections/July 2025
Born 100 years ago this July in Martinique, the psychiatrist, political philosopher and revolutionary Frantz Fanon inspired oppressed people worldwide to fight for liberation. His radical assertion of anticolonial consciousness and call to resistance can be felt in landmark cinematic bombshells by Ousmane Sembène ( Black Girl ), Gillo Pontecorvo ( The Battle of Algiers ), and Sarah Maldoror ( Sambizanga ), while more recent filmmakers like Isaac Julien ( Frantz Fanon: Black Skin, White Mask ) and Göran Olsson ( Concerning Violence ) have perpetuated Fanon’s legacy through experimental documentaries that illuminate his life and ideas through powerfully evocative imagery.
