Statues also Die is a good film for those interested in art and museums. Commissioned and partially paid by Présence Africaine it was released in 1953. The film shows how the treatement of African art (called Art Nègre at the time and considered simpler) and Colonialism erased African cultures and denied African and Black people the dignity of their past. It was forbidden as in the ‘50 French still had colonies in Africa, it was allowed on 1963.

I want to die while you love me,

While yet you hold me fair,

While Laughter lies upon my lips

And lights are in my hair.

I want to die while you love me

And bear to that still bed

Your kisses turbulent, unspent

To warm me when I’m dead.

I want to die while you love me;

Oh, who would care to live

Till love has nothing more to ask

And nothing more to give?

I want to die while you love me,

And never, never see

The glory of this perfect day

Grow dim, or cease to be!
