Bye-Bye Africa
BYE-BYE AFRICA is a reflexive docu-drama based on the
story of a Chadian film director now exiled in France.
When he goes back home at the death of his mother, he
discovers the faltering state of the Chadian film industry,
due to the closing down of cinema theaters and the
proliferation of video rooms. With his old friend Garba,
the former projectionist of the Normandie Theater, the
film director goes all over town to document the cause of
cinema's decline, but ends up discovering how his own
filmmaking affects the local community.
Director - Mahamet Saleh Haroun
Distributor - Mahamet Saleh Haroun
