Diakité’s unique historical document, made together with Gary Engman and Nordal Åkerman, records the precarious living conditions of foreign students, immigrants, and in particular the African diaspora in southern Sweden in the ‘70s.
This new 2021 scan and subtitling of The Invisible people (Det osynliga folket) was made possible by CinemAfrica, Story AB, Simon Klose, Rafaela Stålbalk Klose, and the Afro-Swedish History Week (The Museum of Ethnography).
The Invisible People (1972) streams from April 4–18 alongside For Personal Reasons (1973), two short films by Madubuko Diakité presented under the title “To Dig Where You Stand,” e-flux Video & Film’s special feature of CinemAfrica Retrospective Edition 2022, and accompanied by a recorded conversation between curator and CinemAfrica Program Group member Mmabatho Thobejane, CinemAfrica programmer Christian Rossipal, and e-flux’s Lukas Brasiskis.

The program is part of the series Festival Forum on e-flux Video & Film, presenting collaborations with established and emerging moving-image festivals from around the world.
