Rumored to be the first film ever made by a Black African director, Mamadou Touré's 1953 short Mouramani has been lost to time, or maybe never existed at all. Determined to find out, Guinean filmmaker Thierno Souleymane Diallo embarks on a quest to track down the mythic reel. He digs through deserted movie theaters and defunct archives, interviewing anyone who might have encountered the film. What begins as a personal search for a long-lost piece of history evolves into a vibrant, playful ode to cinema and a testament to the importance of preserving not just the medium, but also the convening space. 

Doors at 4:00 pm. Screening at 4:30pm.
