Xaraasi Xanne – Crossing Voices
Raphaël Grisey, Bouba Touré, FR/DE/ML 2022, 123 min, soninké/french/bambara/pulaar OV with engl. Subtitles
The film is about struggles for work and recognition in France, the sans papiers movement, the Senegal River in Mali and what can be learned from termites. Different recording cultures come together. Documents of migrant resistance: videos, photos, posters and flyers, the griots and the radio, colonial images and Satellite imaging. As a traveler between Mali and France, Touré brought agricultural knowledge acquired in France back to Mali and, in 1977, founded the Somankidi Coura cooperative, which still exists today, with other returnees. Together, Touré and Grisey lay paths through Touré’s rich archive and give them their own temporality: the permaculture of the fight against colonial dominance. (mg)
