Going organic algae shopping
Hanging out with Taale, a veteran activist and filmmaker who lives here. He told me about the blue green algae, local politics and his films in Burkina Faso. He works on a docu about Alpha Blondy and has tons of footage at home (shot on 16mm). He has an old movieola editing suite in his guest room. I have never seen one and it feels like work from another time when everything was analogue and the pace of life was slower. We drove around and walked on the beach, talking about music and politics. He had an amazing life, spending 12 years in Burkina Faso and documenting music and culture there. I met him after the screening as he was asking, if I submit my film to FESPACO and Tangier film festival. I will sure do and organize subtitles in French.
