Vibrancy of Silence: A Discussion With My Sisters (2017) by Marthe Djilo Kamga and Frieda Ekotto screened at the 25th New York African Film Festival which ran from May 16 to June 10, 2018.
Frieda spoke at a Q&A on Saturday June, 9th 2018 at the Maysles Cinema in New York. She answered questions about her work which, according to the Film Festival’s newsletter, takes us along a journey in which “she highlights the creative achievements of Sub-Saharan African women in various intellectual and artistic fields – Frieda Ekotto, Koyo Kouoh, Zolan N’Gono and Marie Sabal-Lecco. Over the course of the film, she engages in fruitful conversations with these artists who, like her, know exile as well as how necessary it is to transmit to younger generations what they have learned as their multiple identities have evolved and fused.”
