In 1963, Sembène produced his first film, a short called "Barom Sarret" (The Wagoner). In 1964 he made another short entitled "Niaye". In 1966 he produced his first feature film, "La Noire de...", based on one of his own short stories; it was the first feature film ever released by a sub-Saharan African director. Though only 60 minutes long, the French-language film won the Prix Jean Vigo, bringing immediate international attention to both African film generally and Sembène specifically. Sembène followed this success with the 1968 "Mandabi", achieving his dream of producing a film in his native Wolof language.
