Watchlist by Woonhuis, screening #2

• Borom Sarret Ousmane Sembène
• Nightcleaners Berwick Street Collective

In the second iteration of Watchlist, Ousmane Sembène’s Borom Sarret will be screened alongside Nightcleaners by the Berwick Street Collective. Here Borom Sarret, a film included in Igwe’s research, will be linked with  Nightcleaners, a film pulled from Watchlist programmers’ own research.

This screening will directly address class and labour conditions, and we invite our audience to sit with these canonical and political works of cinema. In both films, the protagonists are ordinary workers; voices that are often denied a listener. Here, they are taking us through their daily activities and are given time to articulate their situations.
