Monangambee

ossible to have the filmmakers present, in person or virtually, as the screenings are followed by discussions. Our name was decided as an homage to late Sarah Maldoror’s debut film, Monangambee (1969), in conversation with her daughter, Annouchka de Andrade. Set in Angola but shot in Algeria, Monangambee speaks to the fundamental misrecognition(s) between colonized and colonizers in a Fanonian vein, while also centering the possibilities of revolutionary care work. Quite fittingly, the name of the film is taken from a war cry colonized Angolans employed to warn of the approach of Portuguese slave traders.
