series Fight the Power: Black Superheroes on Film
Directed by Souleymane Cissé | 1987
With Issiaka Kane, Aoua Sangare, Niamanto Sanogo
Winner of the Jury Prize at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival, this transfixing masterpiece from Malian auteur Souleymane Cissé charts the coming-of-age odyssey of a young man (Kane) possessed of supernatural powers as he prepares to do battle with his evil sorcerer father. Set during the Mali Empire of the 13th century, Yeelen is shot through with an arresting, lyrical visual style and a spellbinding sense of mysticism.
