Alexander Markov\’s Red Africa programme will show the viewers a unique landscape of the African continent, combining both Soviet propaganda and anti-colonial reflections of African directors, VGIK students of the 1960s, as well as modern films by famous African authors who went through the Soviet school of directing and cinematography. Directors Souleymane Cissé and Abderrahmane Sissako, students of Boris Volchek, Grigory Chukhrai and Marlen Khutsiev, absorbed the skill of cinema rather than ideology. Also, the programme will feature the documentary A Daughter Tribute to Her Father about Souleymane Cissé.
