Born Sarah Durados in rural, southwestern France to parents of West Indian and French descent, Sarah Maldoror was a multidimensional maker initially drawn to the Parisian theater scene where, in 1956, she co-founded France\u2019s first Black theater troupe in collaboration with other artists of the African diaspora. Half a decade later, she pivoted her creative focus to cinema, studying under Soviet director Mark Donskoy in 1961 before working as assistant director to Gillo Pontecorvo on The Battle of Algiers<\/em> (1966), a milestone of revolutionary cinema. Claiming that Black artists \u201care the only ones who should tell our history,\u201d Maldoror\u2014who changed her last name after an inspirational encounter with the 19th century poem, Les Chants de Maldoror<\/em>\u2014forged her own visual transmissions of African culture by directing over two dozen films, including documentaries, fiction shorts, and feature-length narrative and television films.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On April 13, 2020, the 90-year-old filmmaker, theater artist, and mother passed away from complications from the coronavirus. The African diasporic film director has been remembered over the past year in various posthumous celebrations of her life, and her creative force has become a singular subject of collective rediscovery thanks to the frontrunning curatorial sense of feminist film publication Another Gaze<\/em> coupled with the efforts of Maldoror\u2019s daughter Annouchka de Andrade, who has tirelessly labored to preserve and share her mother\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n
