Cocunut Head Generation

Alain Kassanda, FR/NG 2023, 89 min, English/Pidgin/yoruba/French OmeU

Campus life between a spirit of optimism and stagnation, the lack of prospects for young people in a deadlocked society. The University of Ibadan is the oldest in Nigeria, founded in 1948 on the British model. Today, students sit under the sparse light of street lamps after dark to study. The halls of residence are overcrowded and many camp out in the corridors. Every Thursday, however, some students turn on the power generator and invite people to the film club: This is where the "Coconut Heads" turn the tables and address the barriers in their own minds and those of the system in which they grow up. Alain Kassanda's film focuses on the culture of debate itself, with all of its shoals, as the main protagonist.
