«Moustapha Alassane, Cinéaste du Possible» de Maria Silvia Bazzoli et Christian Lelong (2009)

A documentary very informative, especially in that it reveals the existence of exciting jack-of-all Moustapha Alassane ! Is told chronologically his career, along with footage showing him still at work at 67 years and many interviews in his presence or with some of his friends, colleagues or even film critics Africa. It is with great pleasure that we discover the conditions for carrying out its various features and shorts, which are learns about the birth of cinema in Niger and at the same time of African cinema. Moustapha Alassane's life is a hymn to artistic creation: the story of a boy who made his own "magic lantern" and fought throughout his life to practice his Art in extremely difficult conditions, with very few resources, but that still believes in what he does, the need to give access to art to African populations, especially the younger ones. The title of this documentary is found: with Moustapha Alassane everything seems possible! His latest project date is also creating software that allows children to create their own animated films! And once again Alassane working with the incredibly ridiculous, but through hard work, courage and tenacity he manages to give life to his dearest projects. What a pity it is better known, and especially that it is struggling to find funding to produce and distribute his films! It must be said that when asked if there is something he never did in the film, he replied simply: "steal". He always managed to obtain "revenue honestly" as he puts it, either using his mobile cinema or newer hotel that he bought to meet his needs and work freely. Finally the most impressive is to see in action, observing fussing slowly but surely tirelessly for years to what he feels so strongly about: Create. [1 / 4]
