Professors Aboubakar Sanogo and Daniel McNeil on World Cinema

At the end of February, Carleton University’s Film Studies Program and World Cinema Forum organized the very first Canadian homage to Med Hondo, world-class film director. Med Hondo was on hand to introduce his films as part of a retrospective, and participate in an international symposium involving distinguished scholars in the field of African cinema, History, and Film Theory.

Prof. Aboubakar Sanogo, Chair of Film Studies and organizer of the retrospective and symposium, shared his reflections on the event and his thoughts on Med Hondo’s work with Prof. Daniel McNeil, an Associate Professor of History and Carleton’s strategic hire in Migration and Diaspora Studies.
