SUMMARY:Harvard Film Archive: "Touki Bouki" | Djibril Diop Mambéty
DESCRIPTION:<p class="datestrip"><span class="bold"><em>Free Admission with Harvard ID </em><br> Introduction by Mati Diop</span><br>Monday February 9 at 7pm<a id="touki" name="touki"></a></p><h3><strong>Touki bouki</strong></h3><p class="filminfo">Directed by Djibril Diop Mambéty. With Magaye Niang, Mareme Niang, Aminata Fall<br> Senegal 1973, 35mm, color, 89 min</p><p>The debut feature of Senegalese filmmaker Djibril Diop Mambéty,<em> Touki bouki</em> stands today as one of the classics of African cinema and of 1970s world cinema. Built out of a rich montage of sights and sounds, <em>Touki bouki</em> is exuberantly syncretic, mixing the contemporary and the traditional, the naturalistic and the modernist in an expression of post-colonial Senegal’s ambitions for the future. This syncretism is embodied onscreen by the relationship between its two protagonists: a charismatic cowboy-turned-biker and a young student who meet in Dakar and dream of going to Europe.</p>
