Working in collaboration with filmmakers, curators, and cultural partners, Cinelogue brings together under-circulated films and situates them within broader social, political, and historical contexts. Alongside streaming film programs, the platform develops editorial texts, and public conversations that engage with cinema as a space for critical reflection and exchange.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Moussa Sène Absa \u003C/strong>was born in 1958 in Senegal. After starting a career as an actor, he won awards for his short films, documentaries, and features. He is also a painter and author. He exemplifies the “homo senegalensis”, an ideal of an artist, which was dear to Léopold Sédar Senghor, rooted in tradition but fully willing to use what the Western world has to offer. Ironically, Absa is more famous internationally than he is in his own country despite exposure to a large audience in Senegal through the TV series\u003Ci> Goorgoorlu\u003C/i>, written by TT Fons and produced by the national Senegalese television (RTS). His first film \u003Ci>Le Prix du mensonge (The Price of Lies) \u003C/i>earned him the \u003Ci>Tanit d’Argent (Silver Tanit) \u003C/i>at the Journées Cinématographiques de Carthage (Carthage Film Festival) in 1988. \u003Ci>Tableau Ferraille\u003C/i>, released in 1996, earned him several awards including Best Cinematography at FESPACO in 1997. His 2002 romantic comedy, Madame Brouette, won the Poitou Charentes Award at the Pan-African Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO) in 2003. His last two feature films, \u003Ci>Teranga Blues\u003C/i> and \u003Ci>Yoole\u003C/i> were selected in competition at FESPACO in 2007 and 2013.\u003C/p>",[],[],[],{"globalSet":112},{"id":113,"handle":114,"activated":66,"heading":115,"richText":116,"text":118},"16767","notification","Visitor Information",{"html":117},"\u003Cp>Please note that our Majlis is currently closed and will reopen with our next exhibition in early July.
