Au Cimetière de la Pellicule

AU CIMETIÈRE DE LA PELLICULE follows Diallo's search for “Mouramani”, a 1953 film by Mamadou Touré that is considered the first film by a francophone African director. On his journey through Guinea's abandoned cinemas and decaying film archives, Diallo discovers the country's rich film heritage and is confronted with the challenges of preserving cultural memory in the face of neglect and political upheaval. His journey highlights the importance of film archives and the lingering effects of colonialism on African cinema. AU CIMETIÈRE DE LA PELLICULE is both a personal pilgrimage and a poignant exploration of Guinea's film history.
