ATLANTICS
MATI DIOP France, 2009
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.
