Médiathèque Marguerite Yourcenar — 41, rue d'Alleray
Automatically translated. Read the original French text.
Guinaw Rail, a forgotten municipality in the outer suburbs of Dakar, is emptying out. Bulldozers are tearing down houses along the route of the Regional Express Train, symbol of President Macky Sall’s “emerging Senegal”. Before it disappears and is completely transformed, the director films his childhood realm as well as his mother, who unspools the thread of a life behind the rails.
Screening of the film followed by a discussion in the presence of critic Thierno Dia, teacher, author, and specialist in African cinema.
This session takes place as part of the Close-Up festival, dedicated to the city, architecture, and landscape in cinema.
