Join us for the quintessential African road movie – Djibril Diop Mambéty's classic film of 1970s counterculture.
A groundbreaking example of avant-garde cinema, Touki Bouki tells the story of two young lovers, Mory and Anta, who dream of a new life in France together and of escaping the disenchantment of post-independence.
Senegalese filmmaker Djibril Diop Mambéty mixes spirituality and stories that predate colonial French incursion, with frenetic rhythm and non-linear narrative. Pioneering a cinema language, Mambéty paints a vibrant picture of Senegalese youth whose life paths for the better or worse are far different to that of their ancestors.
