| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | From case cover:<br/>In Moussa Toure's powerful epic fiction film, a group of 30 men and a woman sail to Europe in a pirogue, facing the sea - and the possibility of never reaching their destination - in exchange for the myth of a better life in Europe.<br/><br/>From africafilms.com:<br/>"Senegal, a West African nation on the Atlantic Ocean, was home to Africa's greatest movie-maker, Ousmane Sembene. Today, Moussa Toure follows in the master's footsteps with this drama of 30 men (and one woman, a stowaway) who set out on an illegal 7-day voyage to Spain - making the perilous trip in a pirogue - a boat resembling a vastly oversized dinghy. While sharing a common desire to build a better future, these men hail from different ethnic and religious backgrounds. The story grows from a finely delineated mosaic of personalities - reactions to the journey's mounting danger - that span the emotional panoply of human experience. Toure's compelling tale says as much about the universal nature of courage and perfidy as it does about the economic realities faced by so many of the world's people. THE PIROGUE was featured in Cannes 2012, in the Un Certain Regard section." ~ Film Forum.<br/><br/>About the director:<br/>Born in Senegal in 1958, Moussa Toure began his career as an electrician and assistant director. He shot his first short film in 1987 and followed it up in 1991 with his first feature film, TOUBAB-BI, which received several awards internationally. In 1987, he founded his own production company, Les Films du Crocodile (Dakar). The company primarily financed his documentary work, which were lauded critically and received many awards. In 1997, he directed TGV with Makena Diop, Bernard Giraudeau and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, which became a success in Africa. By the turn of the century, Toure had shot over ten projects, spanning shorts, documentaries and features. In 2011 he was selected as President of the Jury for the Documentary section at the FESPACO (Panafrican Cinema Festival of Ouagadougou). His film LA PIROGUE was in the official selection of the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in the "Un Certain Regard" Section. He was selected as jury for the "Un Certain Regard" section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. |
