Walking through the streets of his home town in Senegal, Satch\u00e9 takes in the sites of his past as if he were looking at them for the last time: his parents\u2019 house, his first love, his friends, his wife and children. He greets these final moments with great fear but also with a sense of joy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>I had just moved to Paris. Early one morning, exiting the metro on Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es a kid ran up saying that his friend had written a movie for me and was on his way to NY to try to locate me.<br \/>\nThat afternoon I get a call from a producer asking if I\u2019d be free to receive a call from a director that evening. That evening I get a call from Alain Gomis. He\u2019s in Senegal prepping for a film that he says he wrote with my picture hanging over his desk. He asks can he send the producer with the script in the morning.<br \/>\nThe next morning two producers arrive at my house with a script and a story of how they had gotten the finances for the film green-lit partially by saying I was already attached.<br \/>\nIt takes me two weeks and two dictionaries (French\/Wolof) to read it.<br \/>\nTEY, for me, represents a turning point in my life, just as the story of the film is a turning point for the character, and so it is for all who see it.<\/em>\u201d \u2013<strong>\u00a0Saul Williams\u00a0<\/strong>(as curator of the 2017 edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/face-foundation.org\/programs-festivals\/films-on-the-green\/previous-editions\/10th-anniversary\/\">Films on the Green Festival<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>More information about the event &amp; Watch the trailer of Tey (Today)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/face-foundation.org\/tey-today\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With the generous support of BelleMoon Productions and Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que Afrique \u2013 Institut fran\u00e7ais<\/p>\n<p>Reserve your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/e-cinema.the25hour.us\/seance\/26\">FREE ticket<\/a>\u00a0now!\u00a0(then just log in on December 16 from 7pm to 7:30pm EST)<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/residents\/alain-gomis\">Learn more<\/a><\/u>\u00a0about Alain Gomis&#8217; VILLA ALBERTINE Residency in New York, Boston and Los Angeles<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":58857,"menu_order":0,"template":"","app_discipline":[219],"app_city_tax":[221,214,223,222,220,216,224,217,225,226],"app_event_type":[239],"class_list":["post-58859","app_event","type-app_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","app_discipline-cinema","app_city_tax-atl","app_city_tax-bos","app_city_tax-chi","app_city_tax-hou","app_city_tax-la","app_city_tax-mia","app_city_tax-nola","app_city_tax-nyc","app_city_tax-sf","app_city_tax-dc","app_event_type-film"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tey (Today) by Alain Gomis - FREE Virtual Screening - Villa Albertine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/va\/events\/tey-today-alain-gomis-free-virtual-screening\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tey (Today) by Alain Gomis - FREE Virtual Screening - Villa Albertine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Thursday December 16 at 7pm EST + Introduction by Alain Gomis This event is FREE and open to all!
