Touki Bouki


„Touki-Bouki“ ( Senegal 1973, Director: Djibril Diop Mambéty, 95 min )

 

Just recently Mati Diop, the niece of Djibril Diop Mambéty, made a documentary about „Touki Bouki“ and its protagonists: „Mille soleils (A Thousand Suns)“, first shown in 2013 at the documentary film festival in Marseille where it won the main prize in the International Competition. Unfortunately I haven´t come to see it yet, but here, on the AFRICAN WOMEN IN CINEMA BLOG you can read a detailed review. Also, you can read an interview from 2012 with Mati Diop here.
