The Decapitation of Ousmane Sembene by the Commission for Classification of Cinematography

Flanders (Belgium) / Feature film

1989, the Commission for Classification of Cinematography (CCC) organizes a networking event for director Ousmane Sembene in the light of his latest film Camp de Thiaroye. What starts with the best of intentions culminates in a court case of vital importance. An absurd ahistorical treatment of the censorship of a milestone in African cinema, where uncomfortable truths are confronted and heads roll.
