✎ Suggest a correctionIn this rare interview shot on 16mm film in 1992 and edited in 2011 with super-8 archives, master Senegalese author and filmmaker Ousmane Sembene spoke with French filmmaker Christine Delorme about his film Guelwaar, a comedy based on a true story concerning the conflict between the Muslim and Christian communities in Senegal. Often considered the father of African film, Sembene's candid reflections on religion, culture, literacy, the role of women, and the future of Africa shed light on topics as critical today as they were in 1992. | Indiqué sur la jaquette : Filmé à Paris en 1992 et monté en 2009, "Ousmane Sembene, tout à la fois" est construit autour d'un entretien inédit avec l'écrivain et cinéaste sénégalais Ousmane Sembene. Il venait d'achever son septième long-métrage, Guelwaar, adaptation d'un fait divers : la disparition du cadavre d'un leader politique à la suite d'une erreur administrative. A partir de ce film, Ousmane Sembene (1923-2007) déploie sa vision de l'histoire de l'Afrique, son attachement aux langues et analyse le phénomène de syncrétisme des religions. Ces propos peercutants du cinéaste-écrivain avec Christine Delorme sont émaillés de références à son oeuvre et ponctués d'archives super-8, où il y raconte sa vie de docker à Marseille et ce qui l' a déterminé à écrire.
