Safi Faye, Senegal 1979, 16 mm, 112 min., OV: Wolof and French with German and English subtitles
An impressive post-colonial portrait of her Senegalese home village and the tradition of oral storytelling by Safi Faye, one of the first female directors from Africa whose films received international attention. The children gather under the kapok tree so that the village elder can pass on his knowledge of the founding of the village in the 16th century and the local customs.
