9th July Release – ZIFF – Opening night and opening film **STOP PRESS: ALL FILMS AT ZIFF WILL BE FREE TO ALL RESIDENTS Film OPENING FILM…Youssou N’Dour: I Bring What I LoveDirector: Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi10th July, Old Fort, approx 21:00 after the opening ceremony “A singer with a voice so extraordinary the history of Africa seems locked inside it.”– Rolling Stone Magazine Youssou N’dour: I Bring What I Love is an uplifting, music-driven journey into the power of one man’s voice to inspire millions. The film unfolds an extraordinary moment in the life of Youssou N’dour -- the best selling and most influential African pop artist of all time. The Grammy Award winning cultural ambassador has long been renowned for bringing people of diverse nations and backgrounds together through his collaborations with such musical superstars as Bono, Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel –and for rousing global audiences with his honey-like voice, electrifying rhythms and impossibly catchy melodies. But when he releases his most daringly personal and spiritual album yet, N’dour instead rocks his Muslim fans in Africa. Now, even as he garners accolades in the West, N’dour must brave controversy and rejection at home as he sets out to win his audience back with the sheer transcendent optimism of his music, which moves hips and feet but also hearts and minds.
