Pouvoir de pagne

Feature film / Mali / 1 h 42 / 35mm. Couleur. 1,66. Mono. / Directors' Fortnight 1997

This film is a folk tale. The famous griot Sidiki Diabaté is our guide to the Bandiangara cliffs and into the past of the Dogon people. The Albarga, the mask of the cliff spirits, symbol of power, falls into the hands of Yayémé, a young woman, and creates disorder in Yanda. The womenfolk trade their skirts for men's trousers. Curse? Divine punishment? The women take power... Will the new order stand up to all the inherent contradiction?
