Prof. Wole Soyinka, the first ever African Nobel Prize winner in Literature delivered an epic keynote address at the 2013 Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (Festival panafricain du cinéma et de la télévision de Ouagadougou or FESPACO). It is 13 pages long and you can read it all on http://www.codesria.org/IMG/pdf/SOYINKA.pdf

It was a bit rambling as he moved from topic to topic while constantly returning to the main issue, but it was still very interesting and he did manage to connect all the different things he mentioned to the main issue of the talk in some way. He had a unique perspective on a lot of things in this talk. And who knew Soyinka was something of a movie buff? He mentioned several films and filmmakers that I had definitely never heard of, let alone watched. I definitely plan to look up those films and filmmakers. |
