Batouk Filming Locations

On poems by Aimé Césaire and Léopold S. Senghor, the sun gives birth to the great fetish that spreads life in the world. The views are taken in the reserves that surround the extraordinary Kilimanjaro. Giraffes, gazelles, rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, birds reintroduce us to the days of grace of paradise. A running man whom we see periodically repairing, starting from the bush to arrive in the city, will serve as a link for the evolution of the images. Scenes of palaver at the threshold of the huts, make-up: "These glasses to see in yourself, to have ten eyes". Millet pounding, tam-tam, balafons, dances with extraordinarily beautiful costumes. The colonial era is symbolized by the struggle of a fierce spider and an insect, a snake and a chameleon. Masks "with absent gazes which express, without moving their lips, phrases of oracles". Time passes but where is the time.
