Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich’s ‘Ballad of Suzanne Césaire’ Follow-Up Joins Inaugural Slate From ‘Pan-African Film Studio’ Yetu (Un)Limited (EXCLUSIVE)
The sophomore film from “The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire” director Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich joins the slate from the pan-African production collective.
Launched in 2024, Yetu (Un)Limited was founded by producers Yanis Gaye, Melissa Adeyemo, Carol Kioko, Ike Yemoh and Chloe Ortolé, after meeting at a workshop hosted by the European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs (EAVE). Adapted from the French play written by Bernard Marie Koltès, the film is being billed as a tragic, enchanted tale of colonial passions and the affections of women and men on a night at the brink of change. In her debut, Gueye uses fantastical elements to tell the story of a 15-year-old girl who discovers a murdered woman in her working-class Dakar neighborhood and follows mysterious signs to uncover the truth about the prime suspect.
