Les Princes Noirs de St.Germain-des-Pres

D: Ben Diogaye Beye, Senegal 1975, 15 min, French OV with German translation over headphones

A satire about young men who are prepared to make the most outrageous promises in order to satisfy the longings of young women for exotic experiences.


Lettre à Senghor

D: Samba Félix Ndiaye, Senegal 1998, 47 min, OV with subtitles, German voice over

A thoroughly conflicting picture by Leopold Senghor – poet, Senegal’s first president and a dominant father-figure within Négritude.


Badou Boy

D: Djibril Diop Mambéty, Senegal 1970, 59 min, French OV with German translation over headphones

Badou Boy: a cunning boy is pursued by an overweight policeman. ‘A lively film from Senegal: not made for a European audience but for the people in Africa’s metropolises.’ (zweitausendeins.de/filmlexikon)
