Xaraasi Xanne – Crossing Voices
In the organizer's words:
Xaraasi Xanne - Crossing Voices
Raphaël Grisey, Bouba Touré, FR/DE/ML 2022, 123 min, soninké/frz./bambara/pulaar OmeU
The film deals with struggles for work and recognition in France, the Sans-Papiers movement, the Senegal River in Mali and what can be learned from termites. Different cultures of recording and tradition come together. Documents of migrant resistance: videos, photos, posters and leaflets, the griots and the radio, colonial imagery and Google Earth. As a traveler between Mali and France, Touré brought the agricultural knowledge he had acquired in France back to Mali and founded the Somankidi Coura cooperative with other returnees in 1977, which still exists today. Together, Touré and Grisey create paths through Touré's rich archive and give them their own temporality: the permaculture of the struggle against colonial dominance.
