Malian filmmaker Souleymane Cissé reveals his passion for cinema, Africa and the world to Cambodian director Rithy Panh.

“Le film commence par la voix off de Souleymane Cissé, cinéaste malien, une voix qui dit “je” dans une très belle langue, poétique et convaincante. Pendant près d’une heure, un homme prend la parole au nom d’un continent. Les questions qu’il soulève sont politiques, métaphysiques, mais aussi esthétiques. Des extraits de Baara, Finye, et Yeelen sont intercalés dans le montage.”

“The film begins with the voice-over of Souleymane Cissé, a Malian filmmaker, a voice that says “I” in a very beautiful, poetic and convincing language. For almost an hour, a man speaks on behalf of a continent. The questions he raises are political, metaphysical, but also aesthetic. Excerpts from Baara, Finye, and Yeelen are interspersed throughout the montage.” (auto-translated)
