So I decided to head off in another direction and decided to try an unknown for the Senegal entry.<br /><br />I have not seen <i>TILAI</i> and will keep that title in mind when I attempt this spotlight in the future.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment Sam.Sachinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227932224402555942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942068.post-22567548259395786512012-01-29T21:38:38.604-07:002012-01-29T21:38:38.604-07:00Sachin, I have heard of a few of these films, but ...Sachin, I have heard of a few of these films, but have only actually seen THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY II. I am a fan of African cinema, and consider Sembene one of the great world masters. TILAI is another film I rate highly from the continent. I love teh way you presented this itinerary tieing it into to the football groupings. It really makes for an engaging presentation in every sense. I hope to catch up with some of these films soon enough.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
