Mambetyโ€™s Touki Bouki follows Mory and Anta, two young lovers in Dakar dreaming of getting to Paris. Their plans to leave Senegal unravel through romance, parties, money and disappointment, in a film that is strange, funny, and restless.

Made in 1973 by Senegalese filmmaker Djibril Diop Mambeฬty, Touki Bouki is a landmark of African cinema and a film about desire, escape and the complicated pull of elsewhere.

Alongside the feature, weโ€™ll be showing work by Kalu Oji and Tig Terera, filmmakers whose work engages closely with African-Australian identity, culture and contemporary life. Ojiโ€™s films include Blackwood, The Moon and Me, Whatโ€™s in a Name? and his debut feature Pasa Faho, with Blackwood receiving awards at Atlanta Film Festival, Filmschoolfest Munich and Flickerfest. 

Terera is the creator, writer and director of Swift Street, which premiered in competition at Canneseries, as well as the shorts Tinashe, Chenge, Solibet and Charlotte; Tinashe received a Special Mention at the 2022 Berlinale.

Non-Aligned Books will also be joining us with a pop-up. The Naarm-based independent art bookshop specialises in printed matter on Africa, its Diaspora, class struggle and the Global South.

Langai of Navy Blue Radio will be soundtracking the evening. One half of the Naarm-based Navy Blue Radio duo, Langaiโ€™s sets move freely across deep house, soul, jazz, funk, Afrobeat and other sounds from across the diaspora.

Mareฬ€me Niang, sometimes credited as โ€˜Miriam Niangโ€™, or โ€˜Myriam Niangโ€™, features as Anta in Mambeฬtyโ€™s Touki Bouki. Her role places her within a remarkable period of Senegalese cinema, working alongside filmmakers such as Mambeฬty and Ousmane Sembeฬ€ne during a formative era of African filmmaking. She later appeared in Sembeฬ€neโ€™s Xalaand Guelwaar, connecting her career to some of the most significant films of post-independence Senegal. Her work in Touki Bouki remains an important part of the filmโ€™s enduring place in African cinema.
