May 26 - CCA's Jason Silverman Presents "Sembene!"

You may know Jason Silverman as Cinematheque director at the CCA in Santa Fe. But he's also a filmmaker: he co-wrote, directed and produced a new documentary, SEMBENE!, about the life and career of Ousmane Sembene, one of the most significant figures in Senegalese cinema and literature. 


The film, a collaboration with Sembene biographer Samba Gadjigo, was named "One of the top 18 films of Sundance" in 2014 and recently made its international premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. KSFR's Kate Powell spoke with Jason and brings us this story. 

Jason Silverman, co-creator of Sembene! and Cinematheque director at the CCA. Tomorrow we'll hear Jason talk about the Santa Fe cinema community CCA helped create, as well as the future of film here in Santa Fe and around the world.
