A Shadow and Act report:
Senegalese director Alain Gomis' 3rd feature film titled Aujourd'hui (or Today in English), just had its world premiere in competition at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival.
The film, which stars Saul Williams and Aissa Maiga, follows a man named Satche (played by Williams) during the last 24 hours of his life.
Gomis states, "It's the kind of tale that takes place in an imaginary society in which death comes looking for someone. The film starts when he opens his eyes and ends when they close," said the director of the critically-acclaimed L'Afrance (2001) and Andalucia (2008).
