Omar's odyssey

by Mamounata Nikiéma

BURKINA FASO, FRANCE - 2020 - 77 mins

synopsis

In Ouagadougou, Yves-Omar is a former teacher converted into an accomplished entrepreneur. Even if he enjoys living with his family, his business drives him to travel more and more to develop his business and create new partnerships, in Paris, Munich, Brussels or Lomé. With regard to her own experience, the director offers us with L'Omar's Odyssey another way of understanding the links between Europe and Africa. The experience of a man who - like Ulysses - returns home after long journeys. With, each time, the pleasure of finding his country, Burkina Faso.

Sweeping Yerevan

by Nairi Hakhverdi

Armenia - IN PRODUCTION

synopsis

Marina, a middle-aged woman, tries to support her family and endure all the heaviness of life in the post-industrial city and be the sole breadwinner. She sweeps the streets of the Armenian capital, and at dawn, in Yerevan, Marina finishes sweeping and takes the bus back to her home in Charentsavan, a 40-minute drive away. She lives trying to juggle a disabled husband, a retired stepmom and four children. At the end of the film, we have an intimate and rounded portrait of a person who does not work and who lives in Charentsavan, a city to the glory of yesteryear, but now experiencing high unemployment.

death and cash

by Lionel Ulrich Doyigbe

BENIN, FRANCE - 2020 - 44 mins

synopsis

In Benin, each death sets in motion an economy where artisans, traders of all kinds, sellers of fabrics, gris-gris, etc. find their account. In bereaved families subjected to social pressure to organize the most beautiful funerals in the country, a person is appointed to take care of common expenses. From negotiations to transactions, from the bank to the morgue, the waltz of service providers sets in, leading our hero in a race for debt for prestige that will begin in the aftermath of death, to end in style a few months later , the occasion of the grandiose feast which follows the burial, the Aga.
