THE DECAPITATION

A film by Bibie Deboosere

1989. The Commission for Classification of Cinematography organizes a networking event for Ousmane Sembene's latest film Camp de Thiaroye. What starts with the best of intentions culminates in a court case of vital importance.

An absurd, ahistorical treatment of the censorship of a milestone in African cinema, where uncomfortable truths are confronted and heads roll.


Currently in post-production
