Les Saignantes, Screening of the sci-fi Thriller film by Jean-Pierre Bekolo

August 30 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Date: Saturday August 30th
Time: 7pm
Admission: Free

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 The Future Weird founders Derica Shields & Megan Eardley to follow. Attendees will also get free entry to the Morbid Anatomy Museum before the screening.

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.
