Maïmouna Gueye

Maimouna Gueye is a curator and filmmaker with international training spanning cinema, visual culture, and decolonial studies. Her practice is grounded in a precise conviction: cinema as a tool of epistemic resistance and memory recomposition. Her research gravitates toward documentary as a privileged form of inquiry into reality. As a freelance writer, she contributes to cultural publications with a critical focus on African and Black cinema. Alongside her critical work, she curates African Culture Archive, an online platform dedicated to the rediscovery and promotion of underrepresented postcolonial films. In 2024, she founded the Decolonial Film Fest in Genoa, Italy — a festival now in its second edition (2025) — placing African and diasporic artistic voices at the center of cinematic discourse.
