Of Antillean origin, Sarah Maldoror (1929-2020) is a poet who endeavors to translate into images and sounds the cultural, social, and political movement of négritude, a literary and political movement created during the interwar period. She proposes a new visual and narrative syntax for a different identity. Her work began in theater with the creation of the first all-black theater company (Les Griots), and after studying cinema in Moscow, she joined international decolonization movements. Her luminous cinematic oeuvre includes over 40 films, both short and feature-length, fiction films, and documentaries. Her gaze notably focused on poets Aimé Césaire, René Depestre, or Louis Aragon, as well as painters Ana Mercedes Hoyos, Joan Miró, or Vlady. Her films reflect that of a valiant fighter, curious about everything, generous, irreverent, and concerned about others, who gloriously carried the poetic beyond all borders. A rebel with outspokenness, a resolute humanist, she celebrated the artist's commitment and art as an act of freedom.
