BAMPFA presents the Bay Area premiere of the recently completed restoration of Bushman (US, 1971), directed by Bay Area independent filmmaker David Schickele (1937–1999). We will be joined by special guests, including Schickele’s family, who have been instrumental to the preservation of Bushman, as well as original members of the cast and crew and the preservation team. Bushman is paired with Schickele’s earlier film Give Me a Riddle; these amazing “lost” films tell tales of strangers in a strange land. The films together are remarkable portraits of Nigeria and the United States during momentous times.
