Set in Mali, one of the poorest countries in the world and a place far removed from the twentieth century, Mr. Sissako's entry into the 2000 SEEN BY... series is a moving meditation on the state of Africa. A semi-documentary, the film has Mr. Sissako going back to Sokolo, Mali from France to see his father for New Year's Eve 1999. In Sokolo, he and his father listen to the millennial celebrations in Paris over the radio, just about the only piece of the modern world to be found in the village. Thoughtful, beautiful, and sad, Abderrahmane Sissako's film is a truly unique and profound take on the beginning of the new millennium.

The life of a troubled couple from a town in Mali is the focus of director Abderrahmnane Sissako?s BAMAKO. While the husband, Chaka, is out of work, Mele is barely scraping by as a singer in a local bar. As the couple?s problems come to a head, a larger socioeconomic issue runs parallel to and becomes enmeshed with their lives as the community courtyard outside their home serves as the makeshift courtroom for a trial between a civil spokesperson and a large international corporation that may be partially responsible for Africa?s woes. Aissa Maiga and Tiecoura Traore deliver captivating lead performances and Danny Glover co-stars in this observant yet intimate drama.

After years abroad, young Abdallah returns home to the African port city that, for many, serves as an optimistic gateway to the West. Staying at his mother's house and barely able to speak his native language, Abdallah feels an acute sense of disconnect. WAITING FOR HAPPINESS is deliberately paced and composed of a series of vignettes, a drama from renowned director Abderrahmnane Sissako (BAMAKO) that quietly evokes the predicament of those living between worlds, and the continued striving for human connection.
