To celebrate the latest issue of The New Inquiry Magazine, "Mourning," we have teamed up with The Future Weird and the Morbid Anatomy Museum to bring you a free screening of Les Saignantes, with a discussion with Derica Shields & Megan Eardley of Future Weird to follow. Attendees will also get free entry to The Morbid Anatomy Museum before the screening. The museum will open its doors at 7 pm, and the screening will begin at 8 pm.
Jean-Pierre Bekolo’s sci-fi thriller Les Saignantes opens with a woman who whispers “We are in 2025 and nothing has changed.” Then she fucks a man to death.In this future-Cameroon, "death is the party" - morgues, butchers and maggots abound, and nightlife is dominated by the exclusive wakes of Very Important People. When two young women, Majolie and Chouchou, kill a senior politician, they make a plan to wrest power for themselves in a state that would otherwise abandon them to premature death.
