In Memoriam Great Masters, PassinG Earlier this year, I went to Fespaco, the west African film festival. The hotel where I stay is always the center of activity for the festival, and there are lots of filmmakers around. Particularly, there’s a shaded table outside by the pool where Ousmane Sembene always sits, smoking his pipe; the great wise one of African cinema. He wasn’t there this year. Someone said he had been ill; then, a few months later, in June, his passing was announced. This man, who had worked in the dockyards of Marseilles and returned to his native Senegal to speak his truths as a novelist and filmmaker, was revered as the father of African cinema. And then, the news that Ingmar Bergman had died. Another of the great masters. My first encounter with Bergman was as a drama student in London, going to the Everyman in Hampstead one night—completely innocent of any expectations—to see Persona. I was blown away by it, online | mvff.com and returned there, religiously, to see the rest of the Bergman series they were showing. The same day I heard news about Bergman, news arrived of the death of Michelangelo Antonioni—whose eye on the ’60s, whether Mod London or the L.A. desert, shifted people’s ways of seeing. How curious it was that within a 24-hour period in July, Bergman and Antonioni both were gone. Sembene, Bergman, Antonioni: each a great master of cinema, capturing something particular about their time, their place and their culture, and in doing so, changed the way we perceive ourselves and our world. These are people whose sensibilities, whose intense connection with their creative spirit, have embodied and articulated the essence of the time we live in. —Zoë Elton, MVFF programming director INGMAR BERGMAN OUSMANE SEMBENE MICHELANGELO ANTONIONI 17
