A very captivating film. It captured culture, art, and philosophy of a time and place although remote from the Canadian body, is still close to the human mind and condition.
The film contains spirit. It may be the spirit of the people of Dakar as they have been captured on film.
These directors need more funding so that they can create more films. I viewed The Walls of Dakar at the Toronto International Film Festival where the director, Abdoul Aziz Cissé was on-hand for a post-screening interview and Q & A with the audience. It was informative, although having Mr. Cissé present for the screening made it more memorable.
The film screening itself was meta-fictional in that I was able to experience, experiencing.
