Event Description:

The stunning debut feature by actress-turned-filmmaker Mati Diop is a
bewitching tale of longing focused on a young Senegalese woman gripped
by her forbidden love for an exploited construction worker who
abruptly emigrates to Europe but seems to be lingering mysteriously
behind. Melding supernatural fiction with a clear-eyed vision of the
migrant crisis, "Atlantique" — which began, in fact, as a documentary
short — gives unique resonance to an urgent issue reshaping
communities across Europe and Africa today. A surprise but
well-deserved winner of the coveted Grand Prix at the 2019 Cannes Film
Festival, "Atlantique" establishes Diop as a central figure in a new
wave of politically charged yet lyrically shaped art cinema that is
reorienting contemporary filmmaking towards bold new directions. - HG
