MANDABI (1968) | 4K Restoration | Trailer | Dir. by Ousmane Sembène
STUDIOCANAL today announce the 4K restoration of MANDABI, from the “Father of African Cinema” OUSMANE SEMBENE, adapted from his classic novel, "LE MANDAT" ahead of a planned theatrical release in Spring 2021. The announcement comes following the World Premiere of the film’s restoration at the Lumière Film Festival 2020 in Lyon with Sembène’s son, Alain Sembène in attendance to present the film at the special occasion.
With MANDABI, Ousmane Sembène denounces the idealised Africa so often seen in American studio productions and reveals to the public the everyday reality of the Senegalese people.
It is the first full-length feature film in the African language Wolof and it is a precious heritage to the African and worldwide's cinema.
The film has been painstakingly remastered in 4K with STUDIOCANAL’s partners at VDM, scanned from the original 35mm interpositive, which had been badly damaged. Significant work was also undertaken to repair defects in the photochemical development, and special attention has been given to filtering, to provide a crystalclear copy without chips or blemishes. The restoration team also fully graded the film to restore the vividness and beauty of Sembène’s original shots, to fully realise his original vision.
