>Subject: Xala and Emitai 16 mm prints
>Date: Fri, Oct 22, 1999, 7:25 PM
>
>We recently purchased Xala and Emitai. Our film studies faculty are
>questioning how complete the prints are, especially since the leaders on
>Emitai were mislabelled and the flow between reels is very abrupt. Faculty
>familiar with Ousmane Sembene's other works say it usually isn't abrupt.
>If any of you are familiar with these works, can you please tell me if:
>
>Xala should begin without title or credits
>Emitai should end with French soldiers marching the Diola tribespeople out
>of sight around a building and without "fin."

>Many thanks,
