Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich: The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire

Still from The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire by Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich
Suzanne Césaire was a pioneer of Afro-Surrealism and key member of the Négritude movement who deserves greater attention and credit than she has ever received. Showcased as part of New York Film Festival, Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich’s (2022 Awardee) film presents Césaire’s life through an investigation by a group of filmmakers keen to grapple with the writer’s life and legacy, focusing on an actress and new mother haunted by voices as she prepares to play Césaire.
