Description
Summary:Mamadou Sellou Diallo is an emblematic creative documentary professional in West Africa. He was involved in the establishment of the Master’s in Creative Documentary Filmmaking (RDC) at the Université Gaston Berger in 2007, the Saint-Louis Documentary Film Festival (StLouis’DOCS) in 2014, the hosting of coproduction meetings focused on equity, called Tënk, and writing workshops and residencies. In this interview, we talk about the creation of these projects, specifically audiovisual ones, about their territorialisation and capacity to document a space in all its complexity, while revisiting specific examples conceived and recorded here.
