An independent law practice, flexible and ready to share the
clients’ entrepreneurial risk: that was the spirit that animated Eva
Maschietto and Massimo Maggiore when in 2007 they decided
to put their long standing experience with leading national and
international law firms at the service of clients. In 2011 they were
joined by two new partners, Katja Besseghini and Giuseppina
Staropoli, sharing a similar background and the approach to the
legal profession.

seeking to draw attention of audiences and decision makers
towards homogenization of film culture in Lithuania and seeking
to save the oldest cinema theater in Lithuania. In 2010 Kaunas IFF
started theatrical distribution in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. The
idea is to influence and change the theatrical distribution situation
in the Baltic countries by increasing the number of art-house films
in the regular cinema repertoire.

Varios Lobos Producciones started looking for independent
projects focused on artistic processes. Such interest took place as
a part of filmmakers vision, the appreciation and care of the screen
frame resembling a painting’s composition. The first project was a
documentary series entitled Akaso. In summer 2011, the company
finally obtained the resources to begin with the production of Táu,
which would hopefully be followed by two other titles, entitled
The Darkness and Man.

When CrossMedia Promotes Cinema: The Walloon
Case Study
How can cinema continue to captivate the “Digital
Generation”? The answer is simple: by seeking it out
on its own turf! If we want to continue to tell stories,
we should do so on the big screen, but also using smart
phone applications and social networks, the tools, the
new generation is so passionate about. Moving in to
Transmedia though is a cultural revolution for most of
the so-called “Digital Immigrants”. Supporting film
production is a good thing. Helping the films we’ve
320
supported to find an audience is even better. The

65o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors | Sub-Saharan Francophone Africa
African Cinemas: Sub-Saharan Francophone
Films in Need of Recognition
Claire Diao, Journalist
The Road towards a Free Cinema
Considering that most of Sub-Saharan Africa was ruled
by France since 1895, the year when cinematograph
was invented – France had also banned natives from
shooting films in their own territory through the Pierre
Laval Decree of 1934 – it is a known fact that the
“imperial power” has widely influenced these early
cinemas. When the former French colonies became
independent in the 1960s – unlike what happened in
the British or Portuguese ruled countries – the former
French colonizer continued to finance their emerging
cinemas through various institutional supports, thus
taking the lead position in the promotion of
Francophone directors.
These contributions which helped the emergence
of various filmmakers such as Sembène Ousmane
(Senegal), Souleymane Cissé (Mali) or Gaston Kaboré
(Burkina Faso), were not balanced by supports from
newly independent states. While many government
nationalized their cinemas in the 1970s, the influence
of globalization, privatization and other essential
concerns such as education or health worked
together to keep culture as a non-priority field. As
a consequence, it can be noted that in Francophone
Africa there are no cinematographic industries, like
the ones that can be found in non-French speaking
African countries such as Morocco or South Africa.
From Glory to the Desert
In the late 1980’s, Francophone Sub-Saharan African
movies were recognized on the international scene
thanks to various important filmmakers who were
awarded in international film festivals. However, none
of them acceded to a major international award such
as the Palme d’Or (except for Algeria with Chronicle
of the Years of Fire in 1975) or an Oscar (which was the
case of the South African Tsotsi in 2006). Instead, the
Francophone filmmakers became famous in parallel
events (Un certain regard in Cannes), or with other
Jury Prizes (in Cannes, Venice or Berlin).
For many of them, this recognition was the
beginning of a brilliant career which never
materialized a few years after. Because of the lack
328
of national industries, the closing of movie theaters,
the success of television, satellite and DVD piracy,
filmmakers did not shoot as many films as their
potentially successful career could have made it
possible. In fact, each movie of these filmmakers
starts from zero instead of using the money generated
by their past projects.
Main Problems of the Cinema Industry
In Francophone Sub-Saharan Africa, movie theaters
are closing down, except in Chad where the
international success of one director (Mahamat Saleh
Haroun’s Jury Prize in Cannes, 2010), enabled the
re-opening of the capital main movie theater.
In those countries, the only comfortable place to
enjoy cinema is located in the French cultural centers,
the only place where artists and films can be screened
and promoted. The main problem of this situation is
the type of audience that is mobilized: only the elites
are attending the screenings, other people cannot
offer it and stay at home.
National televisions, supplied by France for years
with local and international programs, still ask for
money to screen local production except when they
co-produce some of the famous local TV series such as
Trois femmes un village (Burkina Faso), Les rois de Ségou
(Mali) or Ninde (Burundi) .
Piracy has become a major plague, but it allows
African moviegoers to see international films at the
same time as Western viewers.
There is a lack of distribution companies, but there
are various producers who develop more institutional
projects rather than cinematographic films. After
suffering unpleasant situations with European
co-producers, many directors prefer to create their
own production company in both Europe and Africa to
be sure to control the budget of their film.
Nearly every country has its own Cinematography
Direction, generally attached to the Ministry
of Culture, which tries to centralize all the local
initiatives and participate in the production of some
films. But in the meantime, when a feature film is
released, it can have an international film festival
career instead of generating revenues through
commercial movie theater box-offices.
Rural Cinema vs Urban Cinema
When Francophone Sub-Saharan Africa became well
known abroad in the late eighties and nineties, it
was thanks to a genre called “cinéma calebasse”:
many films were shot in rural villages with traditional
stories and slow narration. During that period, this
kind of movies fed the Western audiences’ need of
“exotic films” but with time, African cinemas came to
be considered as a “genre” by itself: that is to say, a
“boring” cinema.
With the influence of English speaking countries
and new filmmakers, few feature-films concentrate
on urban stories with cut shots and rhythmic editing.
Other cinematic genres were developed and the
documentary started to become influent, from
Senegal (Samba Felix Ndiaye) to Cameroon (JeanMarie Teno) by reinforcing the need for local voices
against the productions shot by foreigners on the
continent.
Starting in the years 2000, the democratization
of video and the creation of various film schools
on the continent enabled the rise of short films
directed by young directors influenced by
international productions seen on TV or based on
tutorial downloaded from the Internet. If directors
keep the contrast between rural and urban stories,
they also develop their own storytelling from Mali
(Tinye So) to Mauritius (Home
Home Away
Away), with good
technical know-how based on the fact that many
of them work in the advertisement field to live.
Initiatives such as Open Doors enable the
development of new projects and the rise of new
filmmakers. With financial support from other
countries, new perspectives are expected for the
future of the Sub-Saharan Francophone African
cinemas.
Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation – SDC
Martin Dahinden, Director-General (SDC)
Open Doors is celebrating its 10th edition this year.
This collaboration between the Festival del film
Locarno and the SDC has produced very encouraging
results, enabling more than 130 teams of film-makers
from countries of the South and East to develop their
skills, make professional contacts, and produce more
than 40 films that have found their audience or even
international recognition.
What pleases me particularly is that Open Doors is
dedicating its 10th edition to the cinema of SubSaharan Africa – a region that is underrepresented in
international exchanges, also in the field of culture.
The continent is a gold mine of stories to share and
creativity to tell them. To see this it is enough to view
the retrospective or to talk with some of the filmmakers who explore the opportunities offered by the
digital revolution. The mission of the SDC is to reduce
poverty. Through its support for artists from the
South and East, it is meeting this challenge by tapping
the wealth of cultural production – which provides
identity symbols, creates space for reflexion, and
directs the forces of social change. Our commitment
starts in the field and continues in Switzerland as a
result of partnerships with organisations such as the
Festival del film Locarno. My thanks go to the whole
team, literally, for their open doors.

Synopsis
Elena has two fathers, both of whom are deceased. Her biological
father belonged to a powerful pagan brotherhood, and because of it,
was never allowed to meet his daughter. The father figure she grew
up with was a French expatriate.
As Elena inches toward adolescence, she finds herself desperately
wanting to be closer to a culture that is not her own. She idolizes
the women in her Harlequin novels and dreams of one day finding her
very own European lover.
From the depths of a world she doesn’t yet know, her father senses
she is growing further away from him and attempts to communicate
with her. But Elena doesn’t yet know how to listen...
When Elena’s mother promises to send her abroad to continue her
studies if she passes her exam, she is ecstatic and applies herself. But
one of her classmates, Clemence, has other priorities. The two girls
start off as enemies, one busy defending the principles they are
expected to uphold in school, the other defending her right to be the
class clown.
One day Elena gets the chance to meet a prince charming similar
to the one she has read about in her Harlequin novels. When the
experience leaves her feeling rejected and scarred, Clemence seems
to be the only one able to provide solace.
Her blossoming friendship with Clemence allows her to unleash the
free spirit she has been keeping locked up for so long. It gives Elena
the courage to listen to a mysterious supernatural force in her
environment; one which allows her to finally connect with a father and
a world she has never known...

Director
Director’s Note
Away tells the story of a young girl who embodies
a young Africa. Elena represents a youth that is
constantly reminded, and eventually convinced, of
the inferiority of its own traditions.
When it is considered unacceptable to publicly state
that one is an animist in societies where people still
very much adhere to animist traditions, it is a reminder
of the inferiority associated with this paradigm. When
we see political leaders dressed in three-piece suits,
it is a reminder of the inadequateness of our dress.
When we see women bleach their skin and relax their
hair beyond recognition, it is a reminder that what
we are is insufficient. When we see people who don’t
adhere to these norms of civility publicly humiliated
and scorned, it reinforces the idea that to assert any
sort of pride in who we are is uncivilized, backward
and threatening. It reinforces the idea that what
we are is not enough; that we need to be reshaped,
refined and repackaged.
Not many people have had the courage to confront
the good and the bad in our traditions and allow those
traditions to evolve on their own terms. What we
have seen is people run away from this responsibility
because it is easy for them to do so under the guise
of pursuing a more developed "modern" life. Elena’s
journey is thus to confront her traditions and allow
them to lead her to her own unique evolution.
Away is a story of unabashed self-discovery. It is
a culmination of personal and fictional experiences,
anchored in a time when girls can still be girls and dare
to do and say things they won’t be able to for much
longer.
movements allow the viewer to absorb and reflect
upon the many layers of meaning in each image.
Applying a minimalist look and feel to a magic realist
story will hopefully make the experience more sober
and balanced for audiences who expect visually
extravagant interpretations of such interactions.

Visual Concept
The film will be shot in parts of Ouaga that reflect its
tranquil "Sahelian" quality. Within this urban space,
we will be visually steeped in a feminine world of hair,
nails, shoes, clothes, accessories, magazine cut-outs
and the posters of super stars.
The pink and orange hues of the budding mango
fruit that visually parallels Elena’s coming-of-age
will determine the palate of the film much in the way

Synopsis
Black Sunshine tells a story of a promiscuous hairdresser, Effie Konadu,
who lives with her 15-year old albino daughter, Adjoa, in a small
compound house in Agogo, Ghana. Born albino, Adjoa desires love
from Effie. Effie’s disaffection for Adjoa is problematic because
society has reinforced in Effie’s mind that albinos are supernatural
beings. Effie is torn between loving Adjoa, as she should, or not.
Adjoa, on the other hand, will do anything, good or bad, to win Effie’s
love; which solidifies in Effie’s mind that Adjoa is abnormal. Effie’s
behavior makes Adjoa feel neglected. As a result, Adjoa creates a
friend for herself, Shebere (Destiny), in the form of a black boy, who
appears during the day to help Adjoa with chores. When Adjoa and
Shebere are alone, they visit a sacred crocodile pond where crocodiles
co-exist peacefully with humans. Meanwhile, an insecure Effie, who
often uses skin-bleaching creams to lighten her skin, encounters a
white European tourist, Remy Savant, in a passenger car. Effie builds a
sexual relationship with him in hopes of escaping her African reality.
When the romance dissolves, Effie falsely blames Adjoa. In her anger,
Effie tells Adjoa the truth about her birth – she gave Adjoa up because
she was born albino, and forced a village midwife to tell Adjoa’s
adopted mother, Mawuena that Adjoa was her own child, after
Mawuena unknowingly gave birth to a stillborn black boy (Shebere).
There is a twofold threat in Effie and Adjoa’s relationship. The external
threat is the love triangle of Effie, her European lover Remy, and his
friendship with Adjoa, her albino daughter. The internal one is Effie’s
secret of Adjoa. Once the external unleashes the internal, both Adjoa
and Effie will confront issues of identity to grow and move on. At the
crocodile pond, Shebere tries to convince Adjoa to end her life and
return to the next world with himself and Mawuena, his mother. Adjoa
nearly relents, but at the last moment, she finds her own path. She
demands that Shebere leave her and go away. Adjoa surfaces from the
river, ready to find her new place in the world. Eventually, Effie
discovers the crushing realities of cultural differences.

Director’s Note
Black Sunshine explores the otherness of African
albinos, which reflects the profound sense of
alienation and marginalization we all often feel.
The film is personal for me as I am a product of both
Ghanaian and Western cultures. I feel of two cultures
and at the same time, a member of neither. I identify
with the central character, who is both African and
albino. While the outsider status of African albinos is
much more extreme than my own, we all nevertheless
have feelings of being visibly noticeable yet socially
invisible. It is this universal aspect of the human
condition I wish to explore through a compelling
drama set in Ghana, where my parents are from. The
film also references a traditional Ghanaian fable
involving a black and white bird. Albinos have been
chastised, ridiculed and killed in many parts of Africa
and the world because of their skin color. Black
Sunshine examines human difference by exploring
conventional beauty, emotional violence, the social
stigma of albinism and its impact on family dynamics.
As a resource to educate people about an underserved
and stigmatized segment of our community, and as
a poignant examination of the self and others, Black
Sunshine is a feature film I am extraordinarily invested
in, and I am eager to share my vision.
Visual Concept
Black Sunshine will show the reality of life in a
Ghanaian village while reaching a more surreal level
borrowed from Ghanaian folklore. This is a story about
a young girl who wants to fit in and another who wants
to get out. Effie and Adjoa’s interior lives intersect
and reflect each other. The characters communicate
how they feel through their actions. The minimal
dialogue in Black Sunshine will suggest the albino’s
perspective and reinforces the silence of African
albinos in reality. There is a twofold threat in Effie and
Adjoa’s relationship: the external is the love triangle
of Effie, her European lover Remy, and his friendship
with Adjoa; her albino daughter. The internal is Effie’s
secret of Adjoa. Once the external unleashes the
internal, both Adjoa and Effie will confront issues of
identity to grow and move on. Metaphors will form
as narratives come together to reveal the quality in
representation to escape its own constraints. From
this point, I draw my inspiration from Ousmane
Semebène’s Black Girl and Claire Denis’ Chocolat.
In addition, the albino French-Malian musician, Salif
Keita has agreed to compose original music for my
film, Black Sunshine. My short films often illuminate
the intersection of beauty and identity. They show
history through personal experiences and refer to
spaces of the in-between. Like my previous work,
Black Sunshine creatively engages in representations
of beauty and unbalanced power relations in the
intricacies of everyday life. In short, I am committed
to producing an authentic film that speaks to the
broader social experiences of albinos as tropes for
cross-cultural identity.

Synopsis
Mame Diarra (aged 12) decides to enroll for school on her own
initiative, in an attempt to alter her destiny as a guide for the blind,
chosen for her at an early age by her grandmother. She brings into the
struggle her friends, who share the same fate: Ndeye Diop (aged 8),
Khady Sall (claims to be 14), Korka Sow (looks 13, but has no birth
certificate). This upheaval causes conflict between the old women and
the young girls, in the presence of filmmaker and volunteer social
worker Pape Abdoulaye Tall, who together with his partners makes a
joint effort to help the girls’ plans come to fruition, but without
upsetting the family life of the group.
Overall, this documentary film is built around Pape Tall’s experience
as a volunteer social worker, who has been in contact for years with
young girls who want to go to school and continue their studies. At the
same time, they have to guide their blind and/or impoverished
relatives in the daily search for the pittance desperately needed to
feed a large family living in the suburbs. And they have to do all this at
times of the day and year which make it very hard for them to attend
school. Together with partner volunteers and organizations, Pape Tall
keeps up a peaceful campaign to make the dream of studying come
true for these girls, whom the street has equipped with a moving
degree of wisdom and fragility.
Pape Tall sees his role as that of tutor, or better still a mediator who
has known both the girls and their parents for over seven years. His
intention is to document how they interact with other children, how
they fit into class and spend their time at school, their relationship
with the teacher. He is keen to film them as they take part in school
life, as they think things over and answer questions from the teacher,
to see them play with other kids at break time, or as they go to get
news from their grandmother, whom they left very early in the morning
at a strategic spot. He wants to find out how they are split between
their roles as girls and relatives, and their plans as schoolchildren to
attend classes and get off the street for good. He films the inner
struggle of these kids who are at the very core of deprivation, of
parental conflict, of the street and its dangers, but who still have the
carefree happiness of childhood. A dual struggle, unique of its kind,
but which shows that all is not lost.

Director’s Note
The production of a longer (80’) version of this
documentary, based on a medium-length (52’)
feature entitled Mame Diarra et compagnie, provides
an opportunity to take a more filmic, effective and
developed approach to the issues of child education.
This film rejects the fatality, the handing down and
the continuity of the poverty which afflicts so many
children on the streets of Africa’s capital cities. It is a
documentary of hope, hope that rises out of poverty,
bringing the conviction that children’s futures are
off the streets and that the struggle for human dignity
can be carried on through knowledge and education.
Co-Production Company Profile
The Ardèche Images production company was set
up in 1983. Run by producer Jean-Marie Barbe, it

Africa, the cinema and society. Alongside the active
part it plays in the series Lumière d’Afrique (Africadoc),
Ardèche Images Production also develops the Doc de
doc series, featuring portraits of documentary
filmmakers.
Visual Concept
My filming distance is set by the special relationship
I have with each of the various characters that I capture
on camera, the varying nature of the situations and
the times and places where they unfold. Sometimes
my camera holds back, sometimes it’s curious and
very intimate. On rare occasions the volunteer social
worker who connects the stories also appears, but
it’s mainly my voice that is heard, off screen, and the
focus of attention is the daily activity of the four girls,
especially Mame Diarra’s, who provides the main
narrative force.
From 1978 to 2008, Abdoulaye Tall (Pape Tall) was
engaged in activities which brought him wide-ranging
skills as a researcher, dramatist, performing arts
producer and organizer and social worker. From 1985
to 1999 he worked with street children on behalf
of the Senegalese non-profit organization ENDA-TM.
Since 2003 he has been involved in voluntary work
with child beggars.

Synopsis
Burkina Faso’s first textile factory was named Faso Fani, or “national
loincloth” in the local language. It was set up in 1965, just after
independence, in Koudougou, the place where I was born, to process
the cotton crop that is one of our country’s main agricultural resources.
In its heyday, Faso Fani was the pride of the city, one of the most
important factories in the country before it went into decline. Faso
Fani finally closed in 2001 under a Structural Adjustment Program
(SAP) imposed on Burkina Faso by the Bretton Woods Institutions. This
policy of profound economic reforms was planned by international
institutions such as the World Bank and the imf for the Sub-Saharan
African states, in the context of economic globalization.
In African states where previously, since independence, the
fundamental social and economic sectors such as health, education,
water and key industries had been managed within the public sector,
a vacuum quickly developed, entirely to the benefit of an unregulated
private sector. The consequences for the population have been and
will be incalculable.
In Koudougou, hundreds of workers were laid off without any kind
of social safety net. The city bore the brunt of this unfathomable
closure and has struggled to recover ever since. A decade after the
social and economic catastrophe, I set out to meet some of the workers
who were involved, to investigate this factory which loomed so large
in my childhood, and to explore this city which, today, is no more than
a shadow of its former self.
Michel K. Zongo
Director

Producer
Director’s Note
Koudougou was long regarded as the textile capital
of Burkina Faso. And with good reason, since it was
the home of the Faso Fani factory, whose name means
“national loincloth”. Burkinabè people used to say
that “Faso Fani calls the shots”.
Then the factory was shut down. Desolation
followed in the wake of the closure, a direct result of
globalization.
Today, by visiting Koudougou and making these
micro-portraits of former Faso Fani employees,
to whom I am personally very close, the film will
gradually show the connection between the choice
of world economic model imposed on my country and
the grim realities of life endured by the hundreds of
workers who lost their jobs.
Visual Concept
The filming team will be light: the director, an
assistant and one sound recorder.
As radio has an important place in everybody’s life
in Burkina, it will be used as sound “off”
” the images.
It will be used to explain the context in which the
factories were closed.
The sound of the radio will also cover the images of
city, the closed factory, the dusty old machines, the
scenes of everyday life: people listening to the radio,
children who leave early in the morning to go to
school, in the PMU bar of Tanga, in the field… The
radio “off”
” will set the tempo for the film.
There will also be archive footage of the prolonged
strike by workers over wages. Their protests were
violently repressed by police.
The meeting with former employees and interviews
will be in an intimate setting for some, or in group to
generate more reactions. These will not be classical
interviews, but discussions where the director’s voice
can be heard.

Synopsis
Pieces of Lives is a 70-minute documentary which examines the music
therapy work carried on by Rajery in the Madagascar capital’s
psychiatric hospital. Rajery is one of the most popular Malagasy
musicians, with an international reputation. He lost his right hand at
the age of nine months and now plays the valiha using the stump,
together with the fingers of his left hand. As a socially aware person,
committed to playing a part in improving living conditions for his
fellow citizens, Rajery is a generous Malagasy personality and a
remarkable man in various ways. But the documentary Pieces of Lives
is not focused on the career of this fine musician, his handicap, or his
engagement in social projects. The film follows Rajery as musician and
above all as the man who brought music into the hospital. Rajery visits
the Anjanamasina psychiatric hospital two or three times a month to
hold music therapy sessions for the patients. There are various reasons
behind his efforts to do something for the inmates of this ageing
establishment. His sister was admitted to the hospital for a period, but
the care she received there did anything but improve her mental health.
She died only a few days after being discharged.
This experience left its mark on Rajery, leading him to wonder how
he could contribute towards improving living conditions for sufferers
from mental illness. Through the one-on-one and group therapy
sessions conducted by Rajery, we are taken to the heart of the
Antananarivo psychiatric hospital and meet its patients, who live in
dreadful sanitary conditions. We follow Rajery’s work in his therapy
sessions and see how music opens a window of hope and happiness for
the men and women who have been confined there, sometimes
neglected by their families. The film is an exposure of the
abandonment of these patients, the apathy of the authorities and the
failure of public health policy in Madagascar. Music is at the film’s
core. It introduces us to the valiha and to Malagasy traditional music in
general, the place of music in society and in the daily lives of Malagasy
people. The film also shows us a day in the hospital. Pieces of patients’
lives. Touching and generous encounters with various patients who
talk about the role of music, and the therapy sessions, in their lives.

Director
Director’s Note
I met Rajery in 2010 at a music therapy session in the
Antananarivo psychiatric hospital in which my cousin
was taking part. He had been hospitalized because
of substance abuse. Meeting Rajery changed my life.
I saw the power of his music for patients and the fire
that lit up in my cousin’s eyes. I realized that we can
all do something for these fragile people who have
lost their way in life, and that every citizen can engage
on behalf of their community. As a musician, Rajery
brings his music to the patients. As a filmmaker, I take
my camera…
The priority mission of Rozifilms, which was set up in
2000, is to produce full-or short-length documentary
and fiction features. Assisting the structural and
professional development of the Malagasy film
industry is also part of the brief for Rozifilms, which
is one of the organizers of the Madagascar short film
fest Rencontres du Film Court.
Visual Concept
This story is filmed at the eye level of all those taking
part, or sometimes even from a slightly lower angle
so as to bring out the personal involvement of each
individual. The overall aim is to take the same visual
approach to everyone, whether patient, medical
staff or the music therapist Rajery. I realized that, in
this closed environment, you can very quickly lose
the perception of what is normal, and even of what
constitutes normality.
I also took the decision to use a shoulder rig for
the camera, the idea being to translate the theme
of “instability” into visual terms and give it greater
emphasis. So the camera itself has to be a little
unstable.
In this film, I try to “film the music” – music is a
character in its own right. So the film’s rhythm will
be set by the music played live by Rajery during the
sessions. No voice over or other sound or music will
be added to the film during post-production. Pieces
of Lives is “direct cinema”, an attempt to show the
richness of Malagasy musical culture, because, despite
all the daily difficulties which are seen in the film,
I want it to speak above all of hope – hope in action.

Synopsis
Two young women, a plane, a coffin.
Maïmouna, 30, from Paris, is returning for the first time to her
country of origin, Mali, where she has to bury her father. He brought
her up in France without ever going back to his birthplace, and he has
left her the difficult task of arranging his funeral in Gao, in the Sahel.
She must cope entirely on her own with reestablishing ties with the
family that he fled from, and that she herself has no knowledge of.
On arriving in Bamako, however, Maïmouna misses her connection to
Gao and finds herself stuck in the capital with the coffin and with no
way of getting to the northern desert region where the burial of her
father is supposed to take place. Then she meets Edith, thirty years of
age just like her, a rather middle-class, very modern Malian woman,
whose husband is about to take a second wife.
Edith offers her home to Maïmouna and the coffin until a solution
can be found. The modern villa also houses the wedding ceremony for
her husband’s second wife, Alassane. The latter confides to Maïmouna
the reasons for this unexpected second marriage: Edith is sterile and
her husband, although he loves her, is concerned that an heir be
provided, by another woman if necessary.
Maïmouna cannot comprehend how a woman as liberated as Edith
can accept this degrading and painful situation. She is far from
suspecting the effect that her words will have. That very night, Edith
commits an act beyond repair.
Next morning Edith offers to take her to Gao, on the edge of the
desert, by motorbike, and Maïmouna, unaware that Alassane is lying
dead in the next room, accepts. It will be a dangerous journey, with
her father’s coffin in tow.
Reaching her final destination, the young woman from Paris discovers
her African family: her grandmother, her aunt, a cousin. She rejects
them all, however, convinced that they were the cause of her father’s
exile. The secrets that she will find out, together with the discovery of
the murder committed by Edith, will force Maïmouna onto another,
interior journey that will lead her towards her true identity.

Director’s Note
Il faut quitter Bamako is above all the story of an
irrational friendship between two women on the verge
of a nervous breakdown. Both road movie and quest
for identity, the film will be deeply marked by the
different energies of Maïmouna, the French woman
who in a confused way discovers her origins, and
Edith, the Malian woman who chaotically asserts her
identity. Although touching on serious themes (family
secrets, female emancipation, grief and mourning),
the screenplay falls into the kind of dramatic genre
that leaves space for humor and the absurd. Our
two female leads are two Amazons riding straight
through the country, carrying with them their load of
certainties, contradictions, strengths and weaknesses.
Rather than insisting on the discourse of finding
one’s roots, my intention is to draw a portrait of two
modern women.
Visual Concept
The film opens in an oppressive atmosphere, with a
feeling of suffocation and solitude. In Bamako, our
two characters seem almost drowned out by the sheer
amount of people crowded into the frame. A city
undergoing profound change, under construction.
By contrast with this energetic exterior, Edith’s
world is quiet, soft and insulated. When Edith and
Maïmouna leave the city heading for the north,
the film deliberately takes on the look and feel of
a road movie. It will clearly reference Thelma et
Louise: roads, vast open spaces, the anxiety of having
to face up to oneself and others, but at the same
time sublime landscapes and the wind of freedom.
A kind of temporary vacuum between their previous
lives and the unknown. They know that nothing will
ever be the same again. The camera closes in on them
gradually, but they escape from us. Bodies seen from
behind, faces in three-quarter view, hidden glances.
The camera is always shoulder-mounted, the angle
always suspended. We have left the hubbub of the
city behind. The young women begin to take in more
of their surroundings. They are afraid, too. They are
encircled by the elements, fragile and, like animals,
they sense danger coming. The arrival in Gao, a dry
place built on sand with very few trees, is a visual
shock. For Maïmouna, the French woman seeing
where her father came from for the first time, but also
for Edith, used to a protected, wealthy environment.
Their gazes become less fleeting, as if the whole idea
of escape was impossible, they look at each other as
if each were seeking a way out in the other. Joined
by their secrets, with Maïmouna’s family they go
through an exchange of identities. They are always
in the shot together, as if a single body somehow
had two distinct and separate heads. Once in the
courtyard of the Touré home the camera is no longer
shoulder-held, the shots become stable, the better to
visualize the permanence of the family sphere. Edith
and Maïmouna find themselves in a clan reunited
by culture and traditions, by funerals in particular,
which are felt with their full weight. The camerawork
is austere, with fixed angles. Characters are filmed in
groups: the family as chorus, soon to include Edith as
she merges into the character of Maïmouna. With the
arrival of Oumou, her mother, Maïmouna grasps the
meaning of her journey. The film of energy becomes
one of contemplation. Slowing down, and losing
color. As Maïmouna connects with her history, the
color palette is progressively toned down. Meanwhile
Edith, who knows she is wanted for her crime, decides
to lose herself in the immensity. Sampling will bring
out the intense, staggering whiteness of the sunlight,
reducing all color tones to sand and ochre, revealing
the poetry of the arid landscapes of the north and
turning the color of the river to silver.

Synopsis
Fire Next Time tells the story of Adel, a young 16-year old woman from
Dakar, whose fast-paced existence – a job as a beautician, going out
with friends, drinking, drugs and consuming whatever’s going on the
free market – is totally upset by the sudden disappearance of her
lover, Souleimane.
Soon her boyfriend is counted as missing, believed dead, especially
when the bodies of some of his friends are washed up on a Dakar beach.
The youngsters must have gone to sea in one of the many canoes that
leave the Senegal shores in search of a better life elsewhere.
Souleimane’s body, however, is not found.
Wildly hoping, Adel is getting out of control.
Her family, part of Dakar’s devout Muslim middle class, secretly
intends to marry the young woman to an old man of some standing, so
as to limit the damage from Adel’s out-of-line behavior in town.
Her father decides to send her to stay with her sister in their village –
on the coast, south of Dakar – to let things quiet down while the
marriage preparations begin.
For the villagers, who enjoy the bounty of aid sent home by the
city-dwellers of their clan, this is an unexpected opportunity to benefit
from the generosity that surrounds a wedding.
For Adel, it might as well be the end of the world – of her world in
particular. Not knowing her family’s plans, she is aware only of
punishment, memories and the possible specter of the man she loved.
A series of odd and fantastical events waken Adel to a new
dimension of herself. In parallel, the atmosphere in the village grows
tense. Adel feels there is a conspiracy against her.
On the day set for the wedding, a convoy of cars arrives from Dakar.
Adel runs away, heading for the ocean as fast as her legs will carry her.
We finally find her stretched out on the shore of Dakar. She is alone.
A new day dawns above the ocean horizon and the vast city.
Perhaps Adel is at last free to invent a new existence for herself.

Director’s Note
This is the legend of the bird that rises from the ashes.
Here, the phoenix is a young woman. After devoting
a short film to the men who leave by sea, my current
interest is in the women who stay behind, the ones
who wait for a brother, a lover, a son to come back.
Fire Next Time is a gothic tale of contemporary
Africa, telling the story of a latter day Penelope
in Dakar. This one cannot while away her time in
luxuriant bowers, however, as she awaits his return.
She has to escape from a grim destiny and save
her life. At the end of this journey of initiation,
the adolescent woman finds her lost treasure. Her
freedom.

Judith Lou Lévy set up Les Films du Bal in Paris in
January 2011. The company produces and co-produces
short and full-length films. Its ambition is to work with
filmmaking talent for French, but also European and
international audiences. Fire Next Time is the first fulllength feature from Les Films du Bal.
Visual Concept
The story of Adel is structured around three separate
moments, like so many variations on the building of
a heroine: contemporary Dakar, swept by the winds
of globalization; the village on the ocean shore,
still closed in on itself and its traditions; and Adel’s
solitary return to Dakar. Each of these sections tells
of an individual rapport with time, the ocean and the
possibilities that youth is offered by the world today.
The film has elements of a gothic tale, taking the
viewer on a hallucinatory journey.
Adel, having escaped from the village and been
saved by the waves, returns to the big city infused
with a new identity. She has found her place, by her
own choice. She will be out of the world. Perhaps it’s
the only place, on the edge, where the adolescent
who is now a woman will be able to reinvent herself,
be born again.
With a heroine for whom life is a permanent state of
surviving, the pacing of the this film is inspired by the
musical device of the fugue.
Mati Diop lives and works in both Paris and Dakar.
After studying in France at Le Fresnoy (Studio
National des Arts Contemporains) and the Pavillon
(Laboratoire de création du Palais de Tokyo), she has
made four short films to date, selected for numerous
festivals at which they also garnered several awards.
Fire Next Time is her first full-length feature.

Synopsis
My name is Ladji. I’m learning to drive a Sotrama, the minibuses that
are everywhere in Bamako. My position gives me an unrivalled
perspective of the arrogant, condescending, dishonest and corrupt
human beings around me – on whom I don’t mind admitting that I spit,
each and every day. When my boss unexpectedly fires me, it doesn’t
take me long to come up with an idea for a fresh start in life. Because if
there’s one thing I’ve learned during my long years as a junior driver,
it’s that the man who has nothing is nothing. From now on, I want
everything. Like other people. And since I don’t like other people, I’m
going to go get what I want in their houses. I’m going to be a thief.
With my accomplice Dramane, I have a little set-up which soon
takes us from petty larceny to grand theft, and we soon have a fairly
comfortable lifestyle. But fairly comfortable is not enough for
someone like me.
We meet up with Sékou, Idrissa and Jean-François. When JeanFrançois suggests we could get into the drug business, we say yes
before he’s finished asking. The logical consequence is that we come
up in the world of crime and get some of the benefits: money, coke,
high-end goods and girls. But we also start paying some of the price.
Sékou takes a bullet in the brain on one of our jobs. Dramane and I get
arrested and then released. I have a bad feeling, a sense of unease.
Visions. Visions of a country at war. Scenes of rape. And Dramane
sinking down and down into substance abuse and paranoia. I’m going
to have to get rid of him.
Not long after that, I meet Assitan. She may not be the prettiest girl
I’ve been to bed with, but her dad was once high up in the Malian army.
I thought that might come in useful one day. And I wasn’t wrong.
When our drug business runs up against a hitch after our contact in
Guinea gets arrested, it’s Assitan’s father who gets me back on track.
He introduces me to some army contacts who can take over transport
of the drugs to Algeria, while all I have to do at my end is handle
sourcing the merchandise from Latin America, directly by plane onto
Mali territory. I can’t tell you how much money I’m making. Today,
I can at last say: I’ve got it all. That’s it. At last I exist in other people’s
eyes. I’ve even become like them. To the point where now I detest
myself as much as I used to detest them. I realize now just how
appalling my idea of happiness was: I was confusing it with pleasure.
Daouda Coulibaly
Director
Souleymane Cissé
Producer
Director’s Note
At the root of this project were the intention to face
up to the issue of drug trafficking in Mali and the
desire to draw attention to the power of attraction
of the drug trade over a population facing all kinds of
problems. It was also an opportunity to portray one
model of society. A model against which one trainee
sotrama driver – an indignado? – rebelled. His chosen
way of expressing that rebellion was to become a
criminal. My idea was to follow him on his path and to
observe how a claim for justice could be transposed
into yet more injustice and disorder. It was only a
fictional account.
And then came the 22nd of March. A very real day.
On that day it was not the sotrama trainees who
revolted, it was soldiers – the “indignados of Kati”,
as they became known. They, too, were claiming
more justice – high-ranking officers in the army were
supposedly involved in the drugs trade, getting
rich while the lower ranks were sent north to fight
the rebellion. They improvised a coup d’état whose
indirect consequences were far-reaching upheavals.
The country was cut in two, hundreds of thousands
of people were trapped, and desolation set in,
everywhere. Since then, injustice and disorder are not
just words any more, but part of our everyday lives.
So Ladji Nyè could no longer be a film anticipating
social trends as I had thought of it only a short while
before. Instead it has become a film through which
I take stock of the current situation in Mali and in
which I attempt to work my way back to a version of
“how we got into this mess”.
Visual Concept
Film noir
The visual identity of this film has several formal
characteristics typical of film noir: an urban setting,
scenes in the rain, night-time scenes and strong
contrast.
Subjective vision with a documentary look
Apart from its opening sequence, the film is shot
from Ladji’s point of view.
This individualized perspective is accompanied by
systematic recourse to elliptical narration, defining a
free, floating sense of time.
Similarly, spatial leaps will accentuate the sensatian
of instability that is typical of the main chacarcter’s
quest and his inner inquiries.
The image describes, the voice off decodes
Ladji’s voice (off) will be our guide through the
innermost workings of his mind. It will inform us about
the psychology of the character and will support his
direct and immediate vision, without ever becoming
superfluous in respect of what we see.
Ladji’s eye
The vision of the human eye is a system with variable
mental focus. In order to recreate this aspect, I intend
to use two basic focal lengths – 70 for the observation
angle of view and 180 to create the perception angle
of view. The shifts from one to the other – i.e. the
variations in Ladji’s field of view – will be recreated by
morphing during post-production. At the same stage,
color and image correction will allow refinement of
this visual impression (in particular by interfering with
light and blurring)
Daouda Coulibaly studied economics and worked for
several years in France as an audiovisual editor before
trying his hand at directing.
In 2009 he made his first short film. In 2010 he was
picked for the Africa First Short Film Program, which
helped him to make his second short feature the
following year. He lives and works in Bamako.
Set up in 1977, the production company Les films

Synopsis
The disappearance of the President of Cameroon few days before the
elections is a sign that the “specter” has taken over. Young people are
becoming restless, old people are now telling, intellectuals are more
and more debating, prisoners are planning, women feel like resisting…
Why are all the unemployed youth riding moto-taxis? Why are
babies being stolen in public hospitals? Why no local hero still has no
name on the street and no monument? Why is such a beautiful country
in so much despair? Why has the old president never been to Soweto,
nor to Harlem?
These are the different faces of 42 years of the same regime revealed
by “the specter”. The story of succession, the story of independence,
the story of revolution, the story of killing and death, the story of
betrayal, the story of the people, the story of power… in one specific
country… Cameroon.
Because Africa is not a country, because the whole continent’s story
can’t be the story of misery, poverty and diseases, the challenge is
to get the media not just to tell the continent’s story differently, but
to tell a different story. One country at a time, looking at the
contradictions and the hope through stories of the people and their
imagination.
The President is an attempt to reinvent the genre not just by mixing
fiction and reality but also by artistic treatment in form and imagery.
Jean-Pierre Bekolo
Director
Director’s Note
After the Arab spring, we’re still waiting for black
Africa to rebel. But heads of State who have been in
power for decades will not go easily. Film must use its
aesthetic and narrative potential to play a role in the
African democratic process.
The film takes shape around activism, but without
losing its light touch. It asks questions about the
responsibility of those in power. The President is an
allegory about the men who run Africa. We know they
all like to see themselves as wild beasts – panther,
crocodile, lion – if not as gods of Africa. The President
tries to clear a place for film in the arena of African
politics, where truth is sometimes stranger than
fiction.
Visual Concept
With The President, my attempt is to work on African
Cinema of the Future.
The African cinema of the future shouldn’t be about
translating, interpreting or explications nor it should
be about speaking to “ourselves”. Because speaking
to ourselves is just another form of manipulation of
the language.
The African cinema of the future will be a cinema
about places with people living there. Telling “from”
somebody and not telling “for” somebody.
The African cinema of the future will be a cinema
of the unknown, the unfamiliar and the unexpected.
That cinema won’t be about bridging to the new,
the familiar, as our escort to the unknown. A cinema
that gives us a taste of conquest and exploration of
the unknown because the way films are being made
now always involves explanations, translation. It is
interpretation-based cinema that excludes the idea
of the quest for meaning. Eventually, it accustoms
all of us to only accept content whose meaning is
known in advance. This comes from our tendency
to bend everything to the reality we know by using
metaphors and similes, like when we say: It tastes like
chicken. Why can’t we accept the idea that it tastes
differently? We have to accept the idea that there
are many places from which we can experience the
world. Cinema as we practice it leads to distrust any
adventure of understanding that could involve the
slightest risk of difficulty and failure. Each filmmaker
should be asking his audience this question: “ Will you
understand me?”
Nothing is assured from the outset, nothing is
given initially, everything is to be taken, or at least
understood. We must take the trouble to know the
characters, predict their behavior. What initially was
an unknown land, and disturbing, becomes a place of
recognition.
Predictability is the problem of cinema today.
Predictability because it puts audience appeal at the
very center of its approach. Film is gradually losing
human boldness, courage and the desire to follow
the meaning constructed by someone else. It has
installed insidiously a culture of what is expected,
a kind of insurance against all risks of ambiguity,
misunderstanding or disagreement – the very things
that make cinema a human adventure.
Jean-Pierre Bekolo first attracted notice at the age
of 25 with Quartier Mozart, a winner at Cannes and
Locarno and a BFI Award nominee. For the centenary
of the cinema he made Aristotle’s Plot. He directed
Africa for the Future and was the creator of the video
installation Une Africaine dans l’Espace at the Musée
du Quai Branly in Paris. He has taught film at Duke
University.

Synopsis
Marco, Bissoon and their friends worked for the sugar factory all their
lives. The factory is due to close, the cane is being felled for the last
time, their horizons will be utterly changed. Caught up in the events,
none of them is properly prepared for the all too predictable collapse of
their world. Sugarcane is no longer viable, soon there will be only a golf
course and luxury villas where it stood.
In this end-of-an-era ambience an enigmatic woman, Devi, moves into
a house opposite the old camp where Marco and Bissoon still live. She
has come with her husband, the authoritarian overseer of the demolition
site. Devi intrigues Marco, who has plenty of time for reflection thanks
to his enforced retirement. What is she doing in this sinister, forsaken
place? What does her haughty and scornful manner conceal?
For Bissoon, however, the closure of the factory brings bitter
realization of the failure of his life. He watches powerlessly as the
bulldozers waltz around the fields he was still cultivating only a few
months before. Before his very eyes this fertile and once nourishing
land is being turned into a playground that will be trodden by the
most expensively shod feet on the planet.
Around Marco and Bissoon, their former work mates are also trying to
find new ways to make ends meet. Ah-Yan, keeper of the village store,
where the whole workforce used to set the world to rights, is departing
for the new world. Rosario is putting all the energy of his despair into
an attempt at regeneration, Annath prefers to go it alone and count on
his political connections, while Zéponz, for all his loud mouth and
massive frame, suffers in silence. After fighting for others for so long,
after so many struggles for workers’ rights, he feels abandoned and
powerless.
How can you survive your own history, the humiliation and the
disintegration of social relations? How can you re-invent yourself when
things are collapsing all around you? Lombraz Kan is not a nostalgic
picture, there is no intention of idealizing a past which brought more
than its share of suffering and misery. The idea is to tell a story from
close up to the people involved, a modern history, that belongs to our
time. A portrait of a society lost between tradition and modernity, an
untypical view of a country whose enduring image of picture-postcard
paradise has so long conveyed the idea that, whatever happens, people
here live content.
David Constantin
Director
Director’s Note
We wanted Lombraz Kan to be far more than
an anecdote from a distant corner of the world, we
wanted it to speak of a universal reality.The characters
find themselves suddenly trapped between
inescapable modernity and living conditions they find
it all the harder to accept. Through the perfect storm
that cuts down the last sugarcane and then tears up
the roots of these different lives, a humanity stronger
than all before it is revealed. These men were united
in their labor, they will stand united as things collapse.
Caméléon Production is the only Mauritius company
involved in film development. Producing a first
full-length feature is a logical step forward in the
company’s growth, following its involvement in a
number of documentaries and short subjects.
Caméléon Production is also working on the setting
up of a regional production network in the Indian
Ocean.
Visual Concept
To begin with the pace of the film is deliberately
leisurely, like that of village life, flowing steadily with
the routine, the unchanging repetition of tasks and
gestures, the last line of resistance to the imminent
upheaval.
Then the story kicks in and the characters are
unveiled, showing themselves with a suddenness
that is evocative of the modernity which some call
audacious, but which looks more destructive than
anything else.
The sugarcane falls, opening up new horizons,
offering a fleeting moment, a puff of wind, to the
inhabitants. It is in this sudden rush of time that the
invisible ties which join them are revealed. In the
storm which comes to brutally tear up their roots,
they themselves are finally revealed.
The dominant colors are those of the earth and the
fields, the same as those of the old camp. The grey of
the camp’s little, decaying houses and their shadowy,
ill-lit interiors contrasts with the saccharine picturepostcard imagery of Mauritius.
The twilight gradually transforms the mill chimney,
once a reassuring presence, into a disquieting shadow
that reminds us that here, as everywhere, people live,
suffer and endure.

Synopsis
The Ouédraogo family gets by in a working-class neighborhood of
Ouagadougou on the proceeds from the oven-baked pork stand run by
Gabi, the father, and his wife.
Luc, the younger son, has given up looking for work and spins out the
long days sulking in his room. Marc, the eldest, is finishing his studies in
Europe; his beautiful fiancée Maria has stayed home with family in her
village to wait for him. When Marc returns, he marries Maria, gets a job
and is able to support the whole family. But just after their first child
has been born, he is thrown in jail because of some arbitrary judgment.
The Ouédraogo family is forced to go back to eking out a miserable
existence by selling baked pork, but the government suddenly
introduces a nationwide ban on unauthorized slaughter of animals and
the unofficial trade in meat. The family is plunged into utter poverty.
Maria waits, bringing up her child in her new family. Tirelessly, her
baby on her back, she gets on the family’s old moped to go visit her
husband in prison. Luc lies on his bed all day bitterly chewing over his
unemployment, despite his qualifications. Gabi sits in his shed with his
old radio glued to his ear, going over the same things in his mind, how
he lost his civil servant’s job and ended up in the suburbs with his
family. Father and son argue more and more, the parent criticizing his
offspring for being lazy, useless, and for his dirty habit of wearing his
brother’s clothes since he was jailed. Their stomachs empty more often
than not, the family spend their days in apathy, tension and
resentment, intensified by the dry and dusty Harmattan wind. On one
of these long, idle days, Luc and his sister-in-law Maria become lovers.
Love can sometimes make you spread your wings and Luc, tired of
his own powerlessness, gets back into the business of petty trafficking.
He needs money fast, to feel alive at last! But he ends up spending
more than his allotted share and soon the bosses want their money
back. To get him out of trouble, Maria becomes a prostitute. She also
hopes to feed the family. Luc, for his part, is already thinking only of
getting out of the country and taking her away from her child.
Servicing clients in squalid places, beset by lies, secrecy and
shamming, Maria feels soiled and betrayed. One night, in a crisis of
lucidity, she kills Luc, her brother-in-law and lover, and sets off to free
her husband Marc from prison.
Can a new day dawn for the Ouédraogo family?

Director’s Note
Pakitalaki is, first of all, a sound.
The sound of pakitalaki, which is what we call flip
flops in the Mossi language.
When we were kids, our father wore pakitalaki that
had a special sound which told us when he was coming
home. We’d do our best to tidy up and look like
well-behaved children. Pakitalaki! pakitalaki! Here he
comes!
I grew up in a small village in Burkina Faso, and I was
the only one in my family to get a higher education.
So if I were to die tomorrow, all the hopes that have
been riding on me would die with me, and how would
my family survive then? This was the anguished
concern that prompted this film.
Portrait of a family
Despair and the vital need to flee the country have
recently become the daily lot – and will be so for a
very long time – for Greeks under the rule of high
finance.
Structural Adjustment Programs and currency
devaluations have been the symptoms of three
decades of suffering in countries like Burkina, under
the lash of neoliberalism. Like a long forced march.
The handful of residential quarters that have sprung
up in the capital are like islands of wealth in a sea
of poverty.
My idea in this film is to give a close-up view of the
disorder in a family. The disintegration that takes
place when people are ill-treated and humiliated in
the way that happens to the former peasants and
unemployed youths who struggle to make ends meet
in the dirty, crowded districts of Ouagadougou, the
capital of Burkina Faso…
…and to create a portrait of a family which could
easily have been my own.
Visual concept
The core location of the film is the courtyard of the
Ouédraogo family. Humble buildings put together
with breeze-blocks. Gray. Decaying walls, coated with
oily soot from the smoking oven of the butcher Gabi
and his wife. Mud everywhere, grease, garbage and
blood.
Sweating or dust-caked bodies. Old, tired bodies.
Bodies shining with life and enthusiasm corrupted
by deadly boredom. Faces that fill up the lens. Looks.
In the background, clothing hung out to dry
redefines the space of the yard. The dust whose fine
particles saturate the air. Smoke.
Flip flops clicking on the floor. The ceaseless crying
of a baby, like a stubborn refusal to come into this
world without hope. “Luc! Luc! Luc!”. What lies
behind this father’s repeated staccato calls to his son?
Throughout the film, the puttering of the secondhand P50 moped that is the family’s sole means of
transportation. It cruises valiantly through the
rutted alleys of the neighborhood, plunges into the
gridlocked avenues of the capital and dodges cars in
an audacious slalom. One night its frame will be bent
under the weight of a sinister load, but still it will
return, wrecked between the oppressive walls of the
Ouédraogo family’s courtyard.
Born in Burkina Faso in 1986, Adama Sallé graduated
from the ESAV School of Visual Arts in Marrakech.
He also trained in documentary filmmaking at George
Washington University. He has assisted directors
such as Idrissa Ouédraogo and Gaston Kaboré, while
continuing, first and foremost, to work on his own
projects.
In 2006 he published his first novel, Un mariage
oblique.
We like films that make us richer through sensitive
awareness of others, be they near or far. Films that
tell us about the evident unity of the world, with its
tensions and contradictions. Athénaïse will soon be
engaged on co-productions in Canada, Les loups by
Sophie Deraspe, and in the Dominican Republic, The
Sand Dollars by Laura Guzmán and Israel Cárdenas.

Synopsis
Niger is secretive, like a veiled woman.
This country is mysterious, but alluring for those who really know it.
In Niger, the women are beautiful. And increasingly veiled. Behind the
veil they appear dignified, calm, somehow uneventful. Like the country
itself, where the flourishing local newspapers rarely report current
affairs. As if to suggest there is nothing happening here. Nothing?
What is really going on behind the veil?
Now, as in the past, the veil is an aesthetic unto itself, a complex
language, an array of strategies. In its various avatars – coquettish or
austere, classic or Islamically chic – the veil is worn to conform or to
stand out, to hide or to reveal, to elude or to take domestic, religious
or social power. It is also worn to dance, to present condolences, and
to seduce. Here, as elsewhere, the veil attracts, repulses, raises
questions. Not the veil, but veils, in the multiplicity of their discourses
and their silences. This feature-length hd film, shot in Niger with the
impulse of an autobiographical gaze, frames the veil as garment and as
metaphor. It explores the private and public strategies of women and
the intimate spaces of an unknown world. The film is constructed
around the character of Antoinette Tidjani-Alou, an African woman in
her forties, a philosopher and professor of literature, who has lived in
Niger over the last 20 years. Her search for references in the complex
codes of Niger, which has adopted her, takes the form of writing. Her
journal records anin-depth exploration of the intimate folds of the
discourses on the veil in the Niger Sahel, revealing the lives, voices and
faces of her contemporaries concealed behind the screen of modesty,
ignorance, prejudice and clichés. Antoinette Tidjani-Alou invites us
into different life-spaces and introduces us to real and emblematic
characters in Niamey who accept to disclose facets of their lives and
work. From the variety of veils, discourses and life-styles emerges a
film associating free thought, poetry, testimonies and lived
experience. This lyrical work immerses the spectator in the heart of
Niger society while engaging a more general reflection on the
contemporary meaning of the word“universal”. Can a woman be
beautiful, veiled and modern? Why is the veiled woman so disturbing
for some? Can this fear be overcome by discovering the lives of other
people, by seeing their faces as unique and yet familiar in their
partaking of the human adventure of the 3rd millennium?
Jean-Marie Teno
Director
Director’s Note
Secret Faces is born out of a filmmaker and an
academic’s shared reflection on autobiography. These
veil tales exceed the religious; the veil has become a
societal issue whose implications expand far beyond
the borders of Niger.
By combining two complementary viewpoints – that
of a male outsider, the director who accompanies the
protagonist, and the latter’s, an insider, familiar with
this universe of which she offers an analytical, lively
and unprejudiced view – this film will broach a range
of questions, including freedom and imposed choice.
It will thereby encourage viewers to question their
certitudes and to open up to the other in all his/her
complexity and humanity.
Visual Concept
Secret Faces is a first-person narrative film,
constructed around the character of Antoinette
Tidjani-Alou (ATA). Present visually and in voice-over
in most scenes of the film, ATA guides us through the
places she has chosen to front-stage. She introduces
the other characters with whom she interacts or links
conversations.
ATA also invents a narrative double, Iyanda, whose
reflections are noted in Iyanda’s Personal Diary.
ATA confronts society: she observes, questions and
participates in social events and rituals. The research
she undertakes nourishes the reflections of Iyanda, a
scholar whose memory stores 4000 years of African,
European, Eastern, ancient, and contemporary
philosophy. Based on this research, ATA explores the
private lives of her compatriots and meditates on their
condition as women in a global world.
The character of Iyanda also allows us to escape
the constraints of realism, and to engage with ATA’s
poetic energy, giving rise to a lyrical film of a fluid
structure that focuses on experiences behind the veil.
Comprising several chapters, introduced by
tableaus, the film will espouse a narrative structure
in three acts: Act 1, the introduction, will present the
characters (ATA), Iyanda and the other characters in
film). This sequence will also describe the setting and
different narrative layers, the central figure’s quest,
and the various types of veils to be explored.
Then, the narrative will develop through two
interconnected movements. First, a local cycle
punctuated by important life cycle events – a baptism,
marriage, widowhood – on the one hand, and intimate
scenes highlighting women’s beauty rituals on the
other. These two movements will coincide with the
following acts of the film: Act 2, the veil in the city,
portraying a series of characters who wear the veil in
public space; and Act 3, focusing on intimate themes,
social constraints and developing personal room for
maneuver.
ATA’s voice will accompany us in this voyage. For
her, French is a learned language which she constructs
in crisp syncopated rhythms; a mix of free jazz
overlaying a pulsating reggae tempo.
Unlike in my previous works, my voice will not
narrate the film, which will be presented from ATA’s
perspective. My role as a director will consist in
mediating between the different filmic spaces and
environment, in which ATA and the other characters in
the film evolve. I will connect and confront their gazes
on these spaces of the social and intimate world that
they unveil and that Iyanda helps us decipher.

Synopsis
Clara, a young nurse from the outskirts of Sao Paulo, is hired by
mysterious Ana as the nanny of her unborn child. She moves into Ana’s
downtown apartment. Soon, the two women develop a strong bond.
But in a full moon night, Clara hears Ana’s scream: the baby is coming
early. Ana dies before Clara’s eyes as her son rips through her body. It is
a werewolf baby. For love, Clara doesn’t abandon her job: she escapes
with the child to her poor neighborhood and raises him as her own son.
With time, she learns to see beyond his inhuman features. But she has
to keep the boy hidden – there is a chance they are being chased. The
father of the child wants it back.
Director’s note
A human being’s metamorphosis into a wolf is known as lycanthropy
and there are accounts of it dating back to Greek mythology. In Brazil,
the werewolf is part of folklore and every region has a different version
for its story. Good Manners tells the tale of a werewolf child raised
among men in the heart of São Paulo, Brazil’s biggest, most rich,
modern and contradictory city. It’s also a twisted story about
motherhood: Clara’s love and desire to raise the baby does not come
from his human aspects. It is the child’s wild nature that strangely
appeals to her.

Alireza Khatami (1980, Iran)

Fine Arts in Film Production. His
debut film, Oblivion Verses, was
selected for the Script Station
of 62nd Berlinale and received
the Hubert Bals Fund from the
International Film Festival
Rotterdam.
Synopsis
Iran, during the 2009 Green Movement.
Morgue-Man, in his early 70s, has an exceptional ability to recall
every single detail of his past three decades, except anyone’s name.
About to be retired, he’s in charge of a nearly forgotten remote
morgue by the border of a huge cemetery. One day, the militias raid his
morgue to hide the corpses of the civilians shot dead during the public
demonstrations. When the militias leave, the Morgue-Man finds the
body of an unknown young girl. He wishes to give her a proper burial
before the militias come back. Above the usual bureaucratic obstacles,
he seeks the help of his friend, the Gravedigger, and an old woman
who has been searching for her daughter, missing since the tragic
summer of 1988.
Director’s note
As an Iranian filmmaker in exile, I carry the burden of a tragic past.
During the massacre of the summer of 1988 in Iran, five to six thousand
political prisoners were executed and buried in unknown mass graves.
Out of fear of persecution, society repressed the memory of those
days. This collective amnesia paved the way for the tragedy to repeat
itself during the uprising of summer of 2009. With my 1st feature film,
I want to emphasize the necessity of remembering the forgotten
moments as a precondition for resistance to come. Oblivion Verses pays
a poetical homage to those who fight to offer justice to the unknown.

Synopsis
After high school graduation Andrea and Daniele go to spend their
summer to a touristic resort named Portorosa. Among parties and trips
to wild nature Andrea has to fight the guilt for a joke that has turned
into a crime and he’s forced to live under the pressure of an unpleasent
feeling: his best friend will always put him in a inferior position. The
clash on Marion, a charming girl with a complicated personality, will be
useful to develop his own way to survive in a world that might stifle him.
Director’s note
Portorosa depicts the spirit of Italy in the past two decades: a touristy
pink resort that hides its problems behind cardboard sceneries and
festive atmospheres. Daniele and Andrea are there to remind us of the
persistence of pain in this environment. With this film I want to
imagine the possibility of developing a capacity to survive in a world
that one might reject. Portorosa in fact is a quest to find grace in life by
living it as it comes.

Synopsis
Illapel, an average town in the north of Chile.
Young Asunción accidentally discovers she has the gift of sorcery.
Her father, Elias, a widower in his forties, sees a means to raise the
family’s income. Everything changes when he realises he can use this
to give himself a new direction in life. He leaves the job he’s been
doing for a notary for the last fifteen years, with the intention of
exploiting his daughter’s talent for finding water throughout the
country. But Rebeca, his elderly mother, thinks differently. Believing
that her ten-year-old granddaughter might suffer – but especially for
fear of finding herself abandoned – she blocks the plan. She stops all
work around the house and takes to her bed. Elias thinks she’s being
manipulative and continues with his plans, but Asunción, caught in the
middle, does not want to leave her grandmother all alone. Elias is left
bereft. Will he manage to make them change their minds or should he
just accept that everything return to how it was? How will he get over
this to find a new direction in life?
Director’s note
Radiesthesia is a pseudo-scientific activity that enables the detection,
amongst other things, of underground water, via swinging a weight
or the use of rods. Using radiesthesia, Asunción finds a lot more than
water. The story tells how the desire to transform his life emerges in a
man whose future is blocked, but who wants to become someone in a
world that values success. Basing his attitude on parents who live off
the precocious artistic or sporting talents of their offspring, Elias
ingenuously projects his aspiration for freedom, a freedom that proves
illusory, when he transfers the dependence that previously linked him
to his mother to his daughter. These two female figures, the two poles
of his life, each signify in their own way different stages in his life cycle
within the family trio, and personify crucial issues of life in society.
These questions manifest themselves on the one hand in the feeling of
exclusion and the fear of abandonment experienced by the elderly,
and on the other in the fragile and complex moment in which childhood
steps into the adult world: this last upset is illustrated by Asunción
who, torn between her gift of sorcery and the family conflict it causes,
grows up in the light of this trial. A comedy touched with melancholy
and absurdity.

Synopsis
One summer, a family of modest means moves into a popular district
of Busan in South Korea. Shin, the father, had migrated to the south
in 1991, fleeing his native country: North Korea. Today, he works as a
courier. One day, a call from a smuggler turns the family upside down
and reveals its secret. Ji-hyun, the eldest child, a sixteen-year-old
daughter, learns that her father had been married to a first wife in
North Korea, and that her biological mother might be sent back to the
north following her arrest by police in China. Try as she might, Ji-hyun
is unable to find a way to free her mother...
Years pass. Ji-hyun has grown up. She is working in Seoul for a boat
building company. Her father, Shin, dies on the day she is promoted.
Through her half-brother who is preparing to go do his mandatory
military service in South Korea, Ji-hyun learns at the funeral that Shin
secretly went to China before he died. The following day, the reading
of the will once again throws the family into turmoil: it reveals they
have a younger sister and Ji-hyun is asked to find her and bring her to
the south. With her half-brother, Ji-hyun leaves to search as far as
China for her North Korean sister...
Director’s note
The project is inspired by my journey through China and South Korea,
during which I made a documentary entitled Looking for North Koreans.
I spent several days at a smuggler’s house. There I heard disturbing
true-life stories that I couldn’t get out of my head. In South Korea,
I met several North Korean immigrants who had to leave their families
behind when they left the country. They were trying to get their
families out using Chinese smugglers. The film focuses on two periods
in Ji-hyun’s life, when she discovers the existence of her biological
mother and then, when adult, that she has a North Korean younger
sister. Considering the issues which then arose, I became interested by
the confrontation between her half-brother and herself and
highlighted this issue because her half-brother, Tae-soo, was readying
himself for two years of mandatory military service and would have to
be prepared to fight against North Korea, the native country of his
father and half-sister. Through this film, I hope to share the pain of the
families separated by the division of these two countries. Thanks to this
film, I too hope to understand the human issuesaffecting my country.

Synopsis
When Elsa, a transgender from Bogota, lands a role in a TV show, her
mundane life takes a turning point. Impressed by her daring personality,
the producer offers her the role of the protagonist in the late night
telenovela: Without Artificial Tits There Is No Salvation. Despite her
family’s will, Elsa portrays a trans-sexual prostitute trapped in sex and
violence and becomes a starlet over night. While entering the world of
gritty glamour, Elsa gradually distances from her true self and
dangerously gets closer to the character she portrays.
Director’s note
My own experiences in Bogota, Berlin and Havana encouraged me to
write Without Artificial Tits There Is No Salvation, a highly personal film
addressing several gender-related issues. Elsa is not outcast by society,
she is “integrated” at the price of losing the ownership over her own
image. Elsa knows that she is being used for a commercialized
progressive and innovative “look” of a cheap TV series, and finds
herself caught in between fighting for visibility in the media and
realizing how this same visibility stigmatizes herself and others.
Can Elsa undermine the expectation of others? Can she subverse
viewing habits of society through a pop telenovela or is she just an
individual grieving for personal satisfaction?

65o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors | Carte Blanche
Spotlight México (in collaboration with IMCINE)
Mexican Cinema, an emotional journey
Marina Stavenhagen,
President Mexican Film Institute (IMCINE)
After a quick review of the last few years, we can
tell that Mexican cinema has risen to a complex and
divergent art form, covering a wide variety of genres,
ranging from amusing and crowd pleasing comedies
and melodramas, the long time bread and butter of
our local industry, but also harvesting the ripe fruit
from more challenging creators, who turn out critically
acclaimed films, wining awards in the most prestigious
festivals in the world.
Beyond the clichés traditionally associated with
Mexican cinema, the diverse visual and narrative
approaches are a testimony of a more structured path
towards film knowledge, supported mostly on the
syllabus of the two federally funded film schools, who
have been preparing generations of film makers for
several decades, and have also laid the foundation for
other higher learning institutions to draft film studies
programs.
This ample register makes Mexican cinema an
interesting and attractive niche to follow, both
for foreign producers interested in developing
international co-production, as well as sales agents
and distributors, interested in solid content, produced
to the highest technical standards and supported by
a solid international promotional effort from IMCINE.
Frequently, our creators produce great work that
is interesting and attractive for several markets,
precisely because of its great professional quality, but
also because it touches emotional fibers common to
all people.
Remarkably, the cheaper, lighter cameras available,
have also allowed for Mexican film makers to move
closer to their subjects, maintaining the beautiful
visuals expected from a rich cinematography like ours,
while finding deeper emotional connections to their
subjects and stories, both in drama pieces, as well as a
great selection of documentary features.
As the level of production rose in Mexico, from the
dismal single digit production years in the 1990’s, to a
solid and robust 70+ full length docs and features per
year, the level of professionalism, clarity and business
savvy amongst Mexican producers also rose, lending
itself to a virtuous circle of great production, with
interesting sales and festival deals, opening the door
for further and deeper collaboration between the
Mexican companies and their counterparts abroad.
The fact that many producers are also deeply
involved in the creative part of their projects is also
noteworthy. We’ve managed to stray from the
traditional director vs. producer dichotomy, in many
cases shifting into a more collaborative environment,
which produces more emotionally involved content,
within a more rational business slate.
But above all, our cinema has the wonderful ability
to make our culture and vision known all over the
world. It allows us to share in the construction of a
shared emotional memory with all the people that see
it, enjoy it and make it their own.
In this edition of Carte Blanche, we’re pleased to
present a group of films that is a true reflection of this
tendency in our cinema, hoping they will be seen and
shared by viewers all over the world.

Varios Lobos Producciones started looking for independent projects
focused on artistic processes. Such interest took place as a part of
filmmakers vision, the appreciation and care of the screen frame

finally obtained the resources to begin with the production of Táu,
which would hopefully be followed by two other titles, entitled
The Darkness and Man.
