Marseille après la guerre

In this lyrical documentary, Billy Woodberry pays homage to Senegalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembène. The film delves into a selection of black-and-white photographs belonging to a single collection. Sound and music add dynamism to the still pictures, which document a compelling portrait of life and labour at the docks of Marseille. Special attention is paid to the workers of African descent, and to the 1947 strike in which Sembène himself participated. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
