Abstract

Abstract:Encouraged by Senegalese president Léopold Senghor, the Festival Mondial des arts nègres (FESMAN) of April 1966 hosted a large number of African and diasporic artists to celebrate an African Renaissance, through several cultural events that strengthened Blackness on the world stage. Working for the "Actualités Sénégalaises," Paulin Vieyra filmed a special piece entitled Le Sénégal au Fesman, a film previously thought lost to time before being rediscovered in the Senegalese National Cinémathèque and restored by the author of this article, who describes the importance of this find, as well as provides an account of the restoration process and the content of the recovered film. The black-and-white images shot by Vieyra show the preparations that Senegal made in order to host the FESMAN and show the visitors from around the world that Dakar was no longer "silt houses and shacks" but a modern and dynamic city involved in African development. Vieyra's images put on display the extension of the new airport, the touristic facilities, the city's natural beauty and its status as a cultural melting pot, as well as its cultural contributions: the Dynamic Museum, its film production, its artistic production, and its literary one, flowing toward the future with confidence, peace, and prosperity from the centuries-old traditions that are the solid foundations of Senegalese culture. In this film, Vieyra portrays a dynamic Senegal that wants to impose itself on an international level as a reference point for a rising Africa which leaves its colonial past behind and is projected without a complex into the future.
Paulin Soumanou Vieyra在塞内加尔文化部重新发现的视听档案文件中
摘要:在塞内加尔总统莱奥波德·森戈尔的鼓励下,1966年4月的世界艺术节(FESMA)举办了大量非洲和散居国外的艺术家,通过几项文化活动来庆祝非洲文艺复兴,这些活动加强了世界舞台上的黑人。Paulin Vieyra为“Actualités sénégalaises”拍摄了一部名为《费斯曼的sénègal》的特别作品,这部电影之前被认为已经过时,后来在塞内加尔国家美术馆被重新发现,并由本文作者修复,他描述了这一发现的重要性,以及提供恢复过程和回收膜的内容的说明。Vieyra拍摄的黑白图像展示了塞内加尔为举办FESMA所做的准备,并向来自世界各地的游客展示了达喀尔不再是“泥屋和棚屋”,而是一个参与非洲发展的现代化和充满活力的城市。Vieyra的图像展示了新机场的扩建、旅游设施、城市的自然美景及其作为文化熔炉的地位,以及其文化贡献:动态博物馆、电影制作、艺术制作和文学作品,充满信心、和平、,以及作为塞内加尔文化坚实基础的数百年传统带来的繁荣。在这部电影中,Vieyra描绘了一个充满活力的塞内加尔,它希望将自己强加在国际层面上,作为一个崛起的非洲的参考点,这个非洲将其殖民历史抛在脑后,并在没有复杂因素的情况下展望未来。
