La déchirure

The Great White of Lambarene

Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965), the mission doctor, theologian and philosopher who founded a hospital in the rainforests of Gabon, achieved sainthood in his lifetime, at least in the popular imagination. The critical assessment of his life and works in recent years, however, has been slightly more ambivalent. Ba Kobhio Bassek is the first director to examine this medical missionary from a purely African point-of-view.

Chapelle

In the streets of North Paris, in a famous ghetto place called Chapelle, Isaac sells drugs for his father Abraham. Abraham loves money in an almost religious way. Rebecca is in love with Isaac. She wants to help Isaac find a new lifestyle.

The President

Cameroonian filmmaker Jean-Pierre Bekolo's newest work uses split-screens (at times, up to four images simultaneously) to present a fake documentary in which "the president" has disappeared; talk-show hosts, rivals, politicians and even rappers chime in on what may have occurred, and what their president for life has—or has not—done for Cameroon.

Intimate story of a Baka family living a traditional life in the rainforests of Cameroun.

Shatfon - Das Erbe der Frauen

The film tells the story of three women from the sultan's harem in an African kingdom, from three different generations, and documents 100 years of change: interventions of Islam and Europeans, tensions and contradictions between traditional identity and the lifestyle of today's black bourgeoisie.
