Mar 25, 2024 · Hondo’s LES BICOTS-NÈGRES, VOS VOISINS (ARABS AND NIGGERS, YOUR NEIGHBORS, 1974) stands as a pivotal work within African cinemas, for its influence on the narrative and thematic exploration of postcolonial themes.
102 min. V'22. LES BICOTS NEGRES, VOS VOISINS, Med Hondo’s second feature, was considered by many as to be an UFO, an unassimilable filmic object: although the film won the Golden Tanit at the Carthage Film festival in 1974, it only acquired English subtitles in 2019.
Neocolonialism, neo-slavery, Pan Africanism and Black internationalism are centrally featured through Hondo’s work, and prominently so in Soleil O, Mes voisins, Les Bicots-Nègres, West Indies, Sarraounia and Fatima, the Algerian Woman of Dakar.
