Info for Atlantics (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Along the Atlantic coast, a soon-to-be-inaugurated futuristic tower looms over a suburb of Dakar. Ada, 17, is in love with Souleiman, a young construction worker.

But she has been promised to another man. One night, Souleiman and his co-workers leave the country by sea, in hope of a better future. Several days later, a fire ruins Ada’s wedding and a mysterious fever starts to spread. Little does Ada know that Souleiman has returned.

In her feature debut, Mati Diop continues to harness fantasy and social relevancy in this haunting tale of love.

"This shape-shifting Senegalese drama is pure cinematic poetry. Slipping in and out of modes with a magician’s confidence, Atlantics is mysterious and mythic, with a wizardly use of sound and some unforgettable images.” (The Telegraph, Tim Robey)

"A haunting romance, political drama and surreal dreamscape all rolled into one. Dreamy yet sensual, fantastical yet rooted in uncomfortable facts, Diop’s beguiling film may even have reinvented a genre.” (BBC Culture, Nicholas Barber)

Fatima Al Qadiri
is a Senegal-born, Kuwait-raised composer and conceptual artist, currently based in Berlin, Germany. She is interested in exploring the experience of war, memory, Western perceptions of other cultures, and sociocultural identity through her work.

Fatima has performed and exhibited at the Tate Modern (part of K48 Kontinuum), UK; MoMA PS1, New York; the 4th Gwangju Design Biennale, South Korea; Art Dubai and The Third Line, Dubai, UAE. Fatima is a contributing editor at DIS Magazine and contributor to Bidoun. She has produced music as a solo act under her name and as Ayshay.

Fatima is also part of the GCC collective. Consisting of a “delegation” of nine artists, the GCC makes reference to the English abbreviation of the Gulf Cooperation Council, an economic and political consortium of Arabian Gulf nations. Founded in the VIP lounge of Art Dubai in 2013, the GCC makes use of ministerial language and celebratory rituals associated with the Gulf to create videos, photographs, sculptures, and installations that examine the region’s rapid transformation in recent decades.
