Hyènes

Sep 18, 1992
Colobane, une petite cité endormie dans la chaleur poussiéreuse du Sahel, fantôme d’une ville au charme foudroyé par la misère. On annonce le retour, après trente années d’absence, de Linguère Ramatou, devenue multi-millionnaire, « plus riche que la Banque mondiale ». Linguère arrive en train, majestueuse, vêtue de noir et or. La foule se précipite avec au premier rang Draman, qui fut jadis son amant. Linguère confirme qu’elle va faire pleuvoir ses largesses sur la ville et lui redonner vie à une seule condition : que Draman soit condamné à mort, car il l’a autrefois trahie…

Contras' City

Jan 01, 1969
Un documentaire fictif qui dépeint la ville de Dakar, au Sénégal, à travers la conversation entre un Sénégalais et une Française. En parcourant la ville dans une pittoresque carriole, nous pénétrons les quartiers populaires de la capitale, découvrant contraste après contraste : une petite communauté africaine attendant à la porte de l'église, des musulmans priant sur le trottoir, l'architecture rococo des bâtiments gouvernementaux, les modestes boutiques des artisans près du marché principal...

Le Glas

Jan 01, 1964
Au début des années 60, à Salisbury (actuelle Harare), en Rhodésie du Sud (actuel Zimbabwe), le gouvernement de Ian Smith pend trois révolutionnaires noirs qui avaient pourtant été graciés par la reine d’Angleterre. René Vautier, avec le ZAPU (Zimbabwe African Party for Unity), dénonce cette mise à mort. Expulsé par la police rhodésienne (renseignée par les services secrets français), le cinéaste tourne en Algérie un film en forme de réquisitoire contre la sauvagerie coloniale. Le film est d’abord interdit en France, puis autorisé en 1965.

Ninki Nanka, le prince de Colobane
1
In April and May 1991, Djibril Diop Mambéty shot his second—and final—feature, Hyenas, a free, lyrical adaptation of Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s play The Visit, which he had been dreaming of bringing to life for years. Rather than taking the making-of approach, Ninki Nanka, The Prince of Colobane used the filming of Mambéty’s movie, which he wrote, directed, and acted in, as a pretext to examine his character. Following him throughout the shoot and also paying visits to his family and childhood friends, Laurence Gavron set off on a quest to find the real Djibril—actor, author, filmmaker, brilliant poet, rogue and clairvoyant, charmer with a big heart—in order to expose the different facets of this generous, creative, and fiercely committed vagabond spirit.

Mambéty

Mar 04, 2002
Senegalese director Djibril Diop Mambéty, one of the greatest figures in all of African film, died in 1998. In this behind-the-scenes documentary, shot during the making of his final work, The Little Girl Who Sold the Sun / La petite vendeuse de soleil, Mambéty speaks with his technicians, prepares the actors, talks with his young star, and, in voiceover, shares his thoughts on cinema and life.Mambéty doesn't differ significantly from the stock "behind-the-scenes" documentaries that adorn most DVDs nowadays, except that Mambéty's films have scenes you actually want to be taken behind. Because of the kind of attention that gets paid to African cinema, there's an initial intrigue to Mambéty, but that interest is sustained by Mambéty's own lyrical insights into his aesthetics.
