Senegalese filmmaker Joseph Gai Ramaka will show and discuss his films Monday, March 27 and Wednesday, March 29 at the Radio/TV Center on the IU campus.

His film, Karmen Gei, a modern adaptation of Bizet's opera Carmen, caused a storm of controversy in Senegal due to its bold protrayal of religion and sexuality. It will be shown Monday, March 27, in the Radio/TV Center, Room 245, at 6:15 p.m., with commentary by Ramaka after the film.

His film "And What If Latif Were Right," a film essay blending documentary and fiction, criticizes the regime of Senegalese president Abdoulaye Wade. It will be shown at Wednesday, March 29, 6:15 p.m., Radio/TV Center, Room 245, with a talk by Ramaka after the showing.

These presentations are sponsored by the Project on African Expressive Traditions.
