Mati Diop

Niece of Senegalese auteur Djibril Diop Mambéty (Touki Bouki), Mati Diop wowed audiences with the genre-bending Atlantics, becoming the first Black female director to win at Cannes. This, the atmospheric, visionary debut short that inspired it, is rich with suppressed histories and emotions.

Beloved arthouse director Claire Denis brings her sensual, tender touch to this very contemporary version of Ozu’s classic masterpiece on familial bonds and the transience of life, Late Spring. Unforgettably shot by the great Agnès Godard and beautifully scored by the Tindersticks.
