DESCRIPTION:\n	A Thousand Suns (Mille soleils)&nbsp\; \n	\n	France. Dir. Ma
 ti Diop. 2013\, 45 mins. Digital projection. Inheritance is a choice\, and
  a quite demanding one\, since it requires you to go back in time. This is
  precisely the journey that the young but seasoned filmmaker Mati Diop emb
 arks upon here\, by looking back at Touki Bouki\, the cult film made by he
 r late uncle Djibril Diop Mambety in Dakar in 1972. In Touki Bouki\, two l
 overs dream of a heaven they picture in Paris. One follows the dream and g
 oes into exile\, while the other chooses to stay. This “Journey of the Hye
 na” (as translated from the Wolof) deals above all else with choices. In M
 ati Diop’s journey\, the story of her family is entangled with the history
  of cinema and the history of Senegal\, as embodied by Magaye Niang\, the 
 protagonist of the original epic. Temporalities juxtapose as 40-year-old c
 haracters make their comeback. Somewhere between naturalism and fantasy\, 
 tribute and investigation\, humor and melancholy\, Mille soleils (One Thou
 sand Suns) keeps the promise of its title\, and shines. \n\n\n	Preceded by
 :\n	\n	Big in Vietnam\n	\n	France . Dir. Mati Diop. 2011\, 27 mins. Digita
 l projection. In the middle of a dappled forest near Marseille\, a crew is
  shooting an adaptation of Dangerous Liaisons\, but the actor playing Valm
 ont disappears. In her search for him the director comes across places\, b
 ars\, streets in a Marseille that echoes the Vietnam she comes from. As sh
 e moves from one place to another\, underground liaisons rise to the surfa
 ce\, while the shoot continues on its own\, virtually without her. Mati Di
 op paints a portrait of a woman between two worlds\, between her desires a
 nd her memories\, wandering through a cosmopolitan Marseille with a ghostl
 y colonial past.&nbsp\;\n\n\n	\n	Free with Museum admission on a first-com
 e\, first-served basis. Museum members may reserve tickets in advance by c
 alling 718 777 6800. For more information about becoming a Museum member a
