On 22 February 2023, Senegalese film-maker Safi Faye passed away in Paris at the age of 79. She came to Berlin in 1979 and stayed in the city for some time as a fellow of the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, and had a close relationship with the Berlinale Forum. Last year, as part of an endeavour resignifying spaces across HKW, an event hall was renamed in her honour. This evening’s programme commemorates her work with a screening of her film Kaddu Beykat (1975) in the presence of her daughter Zeïba Monod and the film-maker Raoul Peck.
